Materials for Amateurs, E. & H.T. Anthony &
Co. (New York, NY), December, 1895, p. 75
Notes: The
odd name of this shutter comes from the location of the manufacturer,
Kalamazoo, MI. Kalamazoo apparently was a hotbed of this type of
shutter, also being the location of the Michigan Photo Shutter Co.,
makers of the Packard-Ideal Shutter.
Low
Kazoo Shutter No. 1 has nickel-plated metal parts. A plain
version painted black is called
Low
