- Description
- Black hard-sided leather No.1 Kodak Series III folding camera. The front panel is released by pressing a small round metal button on the narrow bottom edge [the bottom of the camera is noted by the presence of a threaded hole where a tripod could be mounted] and has a small rectangular metal foot with “Kodak” engraved in decorative writing that keeps the camera propped up. The lens mechanism slides out on tracks with soft black leather bellows behind it and a viewfinder that can be used in portrait and landscape by gently push to the side. There is a art-deco decorated stylus housed next to the lens. There is lots of text along the lens to make adjustments, it is a “DIOMATIC No 0” lens. There are small plaques along the camera base which read “NO. 1 - KODAK SERIES III” “MADE IN CANADA BY CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED TORONTO, ONT 28981”. The back panel of the camera pops off by pressing two metal clasps on both short sides and can house a roll of film. On the back embossed is text that reads “USE “KODAK” FILM NO A120” When the camera is open, on the top is a leather strap with a faded “Kodak” embossed on it.

- Black hard-shelled leather, No.2 Folding Autographic Brownie Kodak camera. The front panel is released by slide a metal switch open, which also acts as the stand for the camera. When opened it reveals the lens, black leather bellows, and focal range on the right side. The lens locks into one of two spots on the focal range meter, with a small lever on the side of the lens. On top of the lens is the viewfinder which can be pushed to the side, for portrait or landscape. The lens is marked with a lot of text, shutter speed on top and aperture underneath (which includes the type of scenario for each aperture), such as “PORTRAIT 4” “NEAR VIEW” “AVERAGE VIEW 8” “DISTANT VIEW 16” “MARINE 32” “CLOUDS 64”. Along the edge of the lens text reads “KODAK BALL BEARING SHUTTER”. Underneath the lens reads, “NO. 2 FOLDING” “AUTOGRAPHIC” “BROWNIE”. To load the film, when the front panel is closed there is longer metal bar that can slid to the right that releases the main part of the camera, which can be taken out fully. Inside the camera is a few pieces of tape. Along the edges of the camera are different dates for patents. On the right side of the camera is a leather handle, which reads “No. 2 FOLDING AUTOGRAPHIC BROWNIE”, and a silver ‘key’ to reel the film. The back of the camera features a metal bar on a hinge that reads “USE AUTOGRAPHIC FILM” “NO. A-120” and a art-deco decorated stylus above, this reveals a part of the film to be autographed. There is also an orange circle to view the film inside.
