8x10 Kodak Eastman View No. 2 ID help?

[LFLarry]

I found an 8x10 Kodak View No 2 camera and I am trying to track down the age and specifics of the camera.

The plate on the front standard says the following:

Eastman View No. 2
Improved Model of Century View
And Empire State No. 2
Manufactured by
Eastman Kodak Co.. Rochester, NY
U.S.A.

Also there is a number on the right side of the metal plate that is 9966. I assume it may be a serial number?

Any help is appreciated.

If it’s that old and in the Empire State camera lineage it may not take standard 8x10 film holders FYI
