Michigan Photo Shutter Co. (Kalamazoo, MI)
Packard Ideal No. 6 Shutter - c. 1900's
Catalog
No. 36, Professional Photographic Equipment, Eastman Kodak Stores,
St. Paul, MN, 1936, p.18
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.
