Rauber and Wollensak Shutter. errence D. Wilkin, Charles E. Welsh, and Edward P. Wilkin must have believed so. On February 27, 1900, papers of intent forming the Wilkin-Welsh Camera Company in Syracuse, New York were signed. The fledgling company was launched with $10,000 in capital and 100 shares of stock distributed to its three directors. According to the filing, the purpose of the company was, "The manufacture of Cameras and Photographic Apparatus, and Photographic and other specialties of various kinds."
