Camera - Vest Pocket Kodak Autographic

Subcollections
Overview

Rectangular, black, metal camera with rounded ends. Front of camera shows central lens window bordered by an irregular shaped metal plate with extensive text, and view finder to right of lens. Top of camera has metal film winder on right side, and a small 'lock/open' switch for unfolding the camera. The front opens by releasing the catch and pulling out the metal panel which holds the lens window. The front remains adjoined to the body of the camera by a leather 'accordion' fold out. The extent to which it is folded out is controlled by the metal hinges. The back of the camera has a circular metal plate in the centre with an orange-tinted window. On the right side of the back is a vertically rectangular metal plate with embossed lettering. Plate will lift up with a hinge on one side.

The original box comes in two halves which slide together and is covered in red and black textured paper. On the top of the box embossed in gold writing is 'VEST POCKET AUTOGRAPHIC KODAK'; on the front are 'AUTOGRAPHIC VPK' and 'EKC'. On the bottom of the box is a white sticker with the numbers '1294675' written on in pencil.
