Low Mfg. Co./Kalamazoo Shutter Co. (Kalamazoo, MI)
Low No. 6 Shutter Variation 1- c. 1895
Catalogue No. IIII of Professional and Amateur
Photographer's Supplies, Wm. F. Uhlman (St.
Joseph, MO), c.1901, p. 25
Notes:
The manufacturer of the Packard Ideal No. 6 Shutter was located in Kalamazoo, MI. The manufacturer of the earlier, and very similar, Low Shutter No. 6 Shutter was also located in Kalamazoo, MI. It is not a stretch to conclude that the Packard is essentially the Low, made by the successors of the Low company.
