Antique Kodak Autographic Vest Pocket 127 Format Roll Film Camera

Yes, this is actually an antique and dates from between 1917 and 1920

Basically a shelf-queen or collector's piece

The shutter is a tad erratic. Sometimes it does the right thing, sometimes it doesn't. If it were "worked" repeatedly, I dare say it would get its act together.

Takes 127 film, which is quite hard to source nowadays

Film loading is by a system which predates and predicts that used by Oscar Barnack in his first Leica cameras - the base lifts off (there is a small "Open" catch) and the film is then connected to its receiver spool and both spools and the film are slipped into place

Complete with original autographic stylus

Made in Rochester, USA

Leather case which is mostly good, with a little damage where the wind-on knob has rubbed it over the decades.

Lovely little thing
