- Description
- A large, black leather bound square folding camera from Eastman Kodak Co. The camera when folded looks like a leather case with a leather handle attached at the top with two large metal buttons. One of the shorter sides features varying mechanisms to make adjustments to the camera. At the top is rectangular shaped metal plate with a knob that can be twisted and will make a clicking noise with a engraved arrowed to indicate turn the knob counter-clockwise, underneath is a l-shaped leaver that has a minor turn radius with an “M” engraved on the one arm. In the middle is a gold metal knob that can be pushed away from the case to open the one side and reveal the camera. Near the knob is a metal plate that reads “SPEED GRAPHIC CURTAIN APERTURE”, a graph with numbers, and “FOLMER & SCHWING DIVISION” “EASTMAN KODAK CO.” “13476 ROCHESTER, N.Y.” At the bottom is another square-shaped plate with a knob that can be turned that corresponds to numbers in a small black circle in the plate. On the top of the case is a white sticker with blue numbers “68622”. On the back of the case is a section for film holders/double dark slides and a glass plate behind a piece of the case that opens with a clasp at the bottom of the square. The other short side features small metal circles and a hole for a screw - most likely for a tripod mount. The front of the case is flat. When the case is opened it reveals the folded camera with black bellows and a silver metal face with a Wollensak Betax No.3 lens. It moves on a track to extend and retract with a mechanism in the front that when pinch together allows for the movement of the camera. There is a partially ripped sticker on the wood panel that reads “Sales - Service - Repairs” “Camera & Instrument Crafts” “9452 Calgary, Alta.” One side of the panel also features a black plate with numbers for focal range.

- A black and silver folding Graflex Crown Graphic camera. The exterior of the camera, on either short side features a silver mount for flashes and shutter release button, which is a rectangle button, (left side) and black leather strap handle (right side). On the back of the camera is a section for the cut film, released by two metal latches, as well as a ground glass back hidden under the folding viewfinder [letting the user know exactly how the image will appear on the film] and releases with a small metal clasp. Towards the top of the back is a metal arm with a black plastic circle at the top that can be slid up as a circular peep finder with various focal ranges on it. On the top of the camera is two other view finders mounted, which are positioned on the right side of the camera, on the left side is a red button. In front of the mount is a raised button (covered in the leather finish) near the the smaller viewfinder, this triggers the camera to open revealing the camera lens. When open the lens is mounted on rails that slides forward and back with soft black leather bellows. It is moved forward by twisting a metal arm with a circle on top in the middle of the lens, this also locks the lens into place on the track. There are two different sets of knobs on either of the lens which allow the lens to lift up and tilt, and with a metal arm at the front of the lens to use for these movements. The metal knobs on the front panel move the inner track that the lens is attached to to move forward and backwards. Along this track is a focal range meter (right side). The front of the camera lens mount reads “Crown [in cursive] GRAPHIC”. The actual lens is missing.

- 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.
