Camera
A Vest Pocket Kodak with a balck metal casing, and a lens that folds outwards. Produced from 1912, this model dates from 1915 as it uses autographic (A-127) film, with the stylus also in place. There is a small switch to lock the top panel in place. Adjustable lens depending on view. It was nicknamed 'The Soldier's Kodak' due to the fact that sales shot up in the First Wolrd War, with soldiers being encouraged by Kodak to document their experience. Over 2 million sold.
