No. 1A Pocket Kodak Junior Folding Camera

Story

In the late 1920s, Kodak revolutionized travel by making cameras small enough to fit in a coat pocket. This model allowed everyday families to document their road trips and Sunday outings without a professional studio. It turned the average person into a visual historian of their own life.

Maker / Origin

Founded by George Eastman in 1888, the Eastman Kodak Company dominated the photographic industry for over a century. Eastman's brilliant business model was simple: sell affordable cameras to the masses, and make money on the film and processing. His company's innovations effectively created the modern concept of amateur photography and the 'Kodak moment.'

Condition & Value

The camera appears to be in fair to good cosmetic condition with some dust and minor wear on the metal bed and faceplate. The bellows look intact from the front, but must be checked for pinholes or tears. The leatherette covering shows typical age wear.
