Folmer & Schwing logo

Folmer & Schwing was a historical American manufacturer and metalworking company that sold Golden Crown bicycles before becoming known for Graphic and Graflex cameras.

Company history

William F. Folmer and William E. Schwing established the company in New York City in 1887 and expanded from gas-light fixtures into bicycles and cameras. Its Golden Crown bicycle was documented in 1898; Eastman Kodak acquired the business in 1905, after which the company concentrated on photographic equipment rather than bicycles.
