Vintage NO. 1A POCKET KODAK Folding Camera in Slipcase! - eBay (item 310104627436 end time Dec-03-08 20:27:08 PST)This vintage folding camera is a black model No. 1A Pocket Kodak in a double slip case. The front is marked, "Kodak." When opened, pull a knob and the camera unfolds and slides forward for picture-taking. The shutter works quickly. The word Kodak on the door opens to brace the camera. A tiny engraved metal pointer tool fits neatly into two clips on the right of the camera.
The face is marked, "No. 1A Pocket Kodak, Made in U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N.Y." Above the lens is a selector for settings marked, "T, B, 25 and 50." Below that is, "Kodex No. 1" and the Eastman Kodak monogram EKC.
The lens itself is marked, "Kodak Anastigmat F - 7.7 130 mm No. 615." Below the lens it says, "Shutter Made in Rochester, N.Y., U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Co." A selector below has the settings, "30037, f-7.7, 11, 16, 22, 32." A thumb screw on the right selects the distance according to a scale on the left of the sliders that measures in feet: 6, 8, 10, 15, 25, 100.
When I took the photos, I didn't know the word Kodak was a movable brace for the camera, so I braced it on the case. I've since learned that the engraved metal pointer tool fits in the two curved brackets on the right front of the camera. I used it to slide the latch to the side to open the camera for loading film. I opened the latch but wasn't able to open the camera for loading, afraid of breaking something.
The bellows look very good. There's wear on the left side of the bright and clear view window cube. The top carry handle is black leather embossed with the word, "Kodak." The black silk-covered double slipcase is in worn condition, the outer case torn and much taped.

Vintage Kodak BROWNIE HAWKEYE Camera, Flash, FlashGuard - eBay (item 310097336629 end time Nov-08-08 20:55:00 PST)This vintage Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera comes complete with flash attachment and protective cover. The front is marked, "Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Camera Flash Model."
The label on the flash hood says, "Kodalite Flasholder. Made in Rochester, N.Y., U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Company. Use fresh "C" size photoflash batteries or Kodak B-C flashpack. Kodak 2-Way Flash-Guard recommended." The label gives suggested settings for using either Kodak film or Verichrome, Plus-X, Super XX Kodacolor, Type A.
The protective cover has a fabric label inside marked, "Kodak 2-Way Flash Guard, Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y. Made in U.S.A. TM Reg. U.S. Pat. Off."
Someone took good care of it. A detailed cleaning would help. There's dust inside the two surprisingly clear and bright viewfinder windows. The carry strap is tough, flexible black plastic or nylon. The protective cover is clear on the front and matte sides and back, still very flexible and soft. The shutter clicks nice and fast.
Vintage Kokak BROWNIE REFLEX SYNCHRO MODEL Box Camera! - eBay (item 310012468737 end time Jan-10-08 17:53:51 PST)Do you like old box cameras?
This vintage box camera is marked, "Brownie Reflex Synchro Model, Made in U.S.A. by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y." The film cartridge says, "Use Kodak Film No. 127. Pats. U.S.A. Des. 119931, 2,206,211, 2,245,257, 2,252,688, 2,292,217, 2,292,218, T.M. Reg. U.S. Pat. Off."
The top opens to reveal a large view finder. To load the camera with film, turn the lever on the back from Lock to Open and pull off the camera bottom. The shutter button is the gray one at the bottom front, to the right of the flash connection. There's a tripod mount on the bottom.
The shutter works. The viewfinder and view lens have dirt and dust inside. The camera can use a good detail cleaning on the outside as well. The black braided neck cord is still strong and shows wear.
