- Description
- A No.1A Pocket Kodak with camera case. a) Black camera with embellished details in the outer covering. On the top, there is a leather handle which reads “KODAK” and is attached to the camera with metal hinges. At the back of the camera is a red glass window. There is also a small opening with a tab that can slide open; this is an autographic window which would have allowed the photographer to add handwritten notes into the film negative with a stylus, which would have been included with the camera. There is a tab at the top of the camera that would be used for winding the film. On the back of the camera is an embellished logo reading “USE KODAK FILM No. A116” in a circular motif. The sides of the camera are rounded. On the front is a panel that opens by releasing the latch just above the panel. The front panel has a small hole in it with threads, suggesting that something could be screwed into it like a tripod. There is also a tripod hole on the bottom of the camera. On the outside of the front panel is a metal label with the text: “Kodak” written in embellished script. This label is a metal tab that folds out and operates as a stand for the camera to sit upright. On the back of the kickstand is engraved with the number “132743”. When opened, the inside of the panel door has a metal track. There is also metal hardware such as a screw mechanism that can be spun to move the metal track forward to adjust the viewing distance. On the right is a metal gauge with various distances in feet and meters. When the track is adjusted, a notch in the side of it lines up with the lines on the gauge. The panel door is attached with an elaborate brace that locks to keep the door in an open position. There is a metal knob that can be pulled forward to extend the lens and unfold the lens hood. The lens is connected with a metal frame. There are decorative labels attached to the lens frame. Above the lens is a label that reads: “KODEX” and has a logo reading “EKC” in an art deco font. The label also has shutter speeds. Beside the frame is the metal shutter release, which can be pushed down to activate the shutter. On the right is the viewfinder which can be viewed from above or the side by flipping it on its hinge. Small text below the lens reads: “SHUTTER MADE IN ROCHESTER, N.Y., U.S.A. BY”, “EASTMAN KODAK CO.” On the left side of this lower label are the numbers “29061”. There are also aperture settings along the bottom, which can be adjusted by moving the small arrow. Below the lens and its frames is another label which reads, “NO. 1A POCKET KODAK”; “MADE IN CANADA BY”; “CANADIAN KODAK CO.”; “LIMITED”; “TORONTO ONTARIO”. The lens is extended outward by press a small metal button next to the right side of the lens while using the small silver knob to guide. Outside, on the front of the camera, the metal hardware below the panel door can be lifted to release the entire interior cartridge in order to load film into the camera. The interior back panel is plastic and has a series of patent dates and patent numbers for USA, Canada, Australia, and Britain.b) A medium sized dark brown leather camera bag with a short strap with one metal buckle. On the front of the bag is a metal clasp with “CKC” (Canadian Kodak Co., Limited logo) and a lever to release the clasp. Above the clasp is stamped with “MADE IN U.S.A.” 22.1 x 9.8 x 4.4 cm.

- A black and silver hard-shelled folding camera. On one end of the camera is a nylon(?) handle attached via to metal rings. The front of the camera is indicated by the metal stand for when the camera is open and a hole for a tripod. The front panel open with a small metal button on the left side, near the ‘key’ that winds the film. When opened the camera is attached to end of the front panel and fully extended with black bellows, there are no tracks for the camera to extend or retract on. On the right side of the lens is a viewfinder, that can be pushed from side to side for portrait or landscape. Along the lens is marked with aperture stops along the top of the lens and bottom, along with shutter speeds. The shutter release is on the left side of the lens. “PLENAX” in a red square is underneath the lens. A metal plate underneath the lens, on the front panel reads “PD 16 PLENAX” “USE PD 16 AGFA FILM” “MADE BY” “AFGA ANSCO CORPORATION” “BINGHAMTON, N.Y. U.S.A.” Either side of the camera, it is metal with an art-deco style simple design with silver lines. To release the back of the camera to load the film, there is a metal bar under the handle that acts as a latch. Inside the camera is a red and yellow sticker that reads “USE PD 16” “Agfa” “FILM” “For half-size picture use the metal picture mask in back of camera under film” “For full-size pictures, use no mask under film and lift hinged mask on view finder so larger scene is included.” “PATENTS PENDING”. There are two red circles for view the film when the camera is closed. There is a direct view of the folded bellows and lens, including the metal picture mask. On the back of the back panel is two small circles, top one reads “OPEN ONLY” “No. 2” arrow “WHILE” “WINDING” and the bottom one reads “OPEN ONLY” “No. 1” arrow “WHILE” “WINDING”.
