- Box of one dozen Thin Crystal Dry Plates for a Pocket Kodak camera. The box’s seal has been broken - inside are alternating layers of thin black paper and the glass plates, which are fogged.Dry plate, or the gelatin process, was invented by Dr. Richard L. Maddox in 1871 and replaced the more time-consuming wet plate, or collodion process, which required active wet chemicals to be prepared in mobile dark rooms. The dry plate process underwent several adaptations throughout the 1870s and, in 1879, George Eastman developed a method of applying the emulsion layer to glass in a factory setting, simultaneously creating what came to be known as the Eastman Kodak Co. and bringing down the cost of photography so as to be accessible to the masses.

- 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.

The ship has three masts with cross-masts bearing their own individual sails, all of which are painted - the foremost one has the image of two monarchs in a red oval surrounded by yellow rays, the mid-ship sail has the image of a red cross with a banner above it bearing the name of the ship, and the aft one has an oval with alternating red and white stripes. The front and middle masts also have smaller flags at the tops - the flag for the aft mast has come off and is on the raised deck behind the mast. The main body of the ship is painted red and blue and a cannon is pointing out the side - a hole on the other side suggests there was a second one but is now missing. There is a red-painted wooden lantern at the back. The whole ship sits on a wooden support.
