No. 1A Pocket Kodak 1926-1932

The Kodak No. 1A folding pocket camera was made from 1926 until 1932 by Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York. This camera came in many models. This particular camera had a photo size of 2 ½ by 4 ¼ and used 116 film. The camera came with a 127mm f/6.3 Kodak Anastigmat uncoated 3 or 4-elements and had exposure speeds of 1/25 and 1/50. Additionally, the camera had a focus distance of 6 feet to infinity. The body came in leather and metal and had a black folding bellow. The camera originally cost around $20. I was drawn to this camera on eBay because of its age – it is the oldest in my collection.
Fun Fact: The 1A stands for “Autographic Special” because the photographer was able to make notes on the film.
