This is 1925-1930 Model B of the famous VPK and it is the Autographic model.
The first of designs of these cameras were sold in 1912 or so, and total sales reached
over 1.7 million, a huge number for the very early 20th century.
As you can see, a real pocket camera - no bigger than a cassette tape box when folded.
127 Film. Two speeds, 1/25 and 1/50, plus B and T. Focus selected by icon.
The Autographic allowed the use of a steel stylus via a small door on the back
of the camera to record brief information.
Hard to find in excellent user condition. This one has pinholes in the bellows, and
only works at 1/25, at some unknown actual speed. A nice curiousity. And a forerunner
to the much later systems which imprinted date and time.
