Eastman Kodak
Ancient Kodak Camera…?
My grandpa passed this camera on to my dad. It has the Eastman Kodak Company emblem on it and the lens folds out accordian style. I was wondering:
When the camera was made?
How much is it worth?
What kind of film does it take? Can I still get any?
Where do you put the film in?
Here is a picture of the camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iceworksx3/4853659239/
Thank you to anyone who has answers!
To Toasty Chan: i did, nothings comming up. not even the kodak sites seem to have any info on it. I was able to find alot about the Tourist Camera he also got, but this one is much older.
I can answer a couple of your questions…
Folding Pocket Kodak 1897
http://www.ukcamera.com/classic_cameras/historyenglish.html
Brass fittings ’97-’98, nickel fittings ’98-’99.
It’s a roll film camera. Film type 105. Made from 1897 to 1949. No longer around.

It could be a rare camera. Only on the market for a year, if the identification is correct.
Edit *************************************
“….. a No. 1 Folding Pocket Kodak made of aluminum
(the first Kodak camera with an all metal case)
and covered with finest grain leather. It was only 1.5″
thick when closed, yet took pictures 2.25″ X 3.25″ and
retailed for $10 in 1897. There were 7,400 No. 1
Folding Pocket Kodaks made during the last half of
1897, its first six months of production. The first
batch of 5,100 was sold to Eastman Kodak for $4.76
each and by January 1900 the scale of economy
had reduced the price to $2.50 each. ”
