Eastman Kodak No. 1 Pocket Camera.
Serial Number 27449.
The pocket Kodak No. 1 series II is a folding A120 film camera made from 1922 to 1931 .

It uses autographic rollfilm that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934. All Pocket Kodak cameras had the autographic feature.

The negative size is 6×9 cm or 2 1/4×3 1/4 inch.

It has a Kodak anastigmat 108/7,7 lens. The Diomatic No. 0 shutter has six settings, B, T 1/10 1/50 1/100 and 1/200s.

It even has an exposure advice. Select aperture and lighting conditions dull, gray, clear or brilliant. At the shown aperture "figures indicate required exposure" as it states on the lever.

The camera was designed to use A120 film. To benefit from this autographic feature, a stylus with an Art Deco look was included (just above the window). On the back of the camera, you find the obvious red windows used for frame counting.

On this camera, a little advice was imprinted in the black leather: use film No A120.

Nowadays, all you can use is simple 120 film. Some version also came with "use "Kodak" film No A116"  The viewfinder is a prism that, when looked at from a distance, gives you an idea of framing.

The prism can be put in a horizontal or vertical position, so composing can be done by looking into it from above or from the side of the camera. The prism field is shows Swiss cross for portrait or landscape pictures.
