No.1 Pocket Kodak Jr.


This junk store find has cleaned up very well. It was still in the original black
'leatherette' cardboard long-sleeve box, albeit with a masking tape wrap.

There are myriad Kodak folders, and it is difficult for me to actually put a date
to this one. I'm thinking c.1929 but I would appreciate help on this. Anyone?
The clues are: 120 film, no folding 'sports' viewfinder, Kodex No. 0 shutter
with speeds T B 25 100, an f7.7 111mm Kodak anastigmat lens (No. 6040),
and a smallest aperture of f45. The fold-out stand has excellent Art Deco graphics.

What date of manufacture? Is the serial number on the lens also the body number? I'd like to hear from you.
Edit: 7/7/2010. The body number was discovered on the reverse side of the "Kodak" leg. It places the camera as built in late 1929.

Lovely camera - sad to say I probably wouldn't know where to start with it!
