Eastman Kodak Company No.1A Pocket Kodak folding camera

Details

The Kodak No. 1A Pocket Kodak is an iconic folding bellows camera manufactured by Eastman Kodak Company in the early 20th century. Designed to be portable and easy to use, it represented a milestone in the democratisation of photography, allowing amateurs to capture large-format images with remarkable quality for its time.

This model features a Kodak Anastigmat lens, renowned for its sharpness and optical correction, along with a Kodak shutter manufactured in Rochester, New York. The front features aperture and speed scales engraved in brass, a characteristic detail of the engineering and aesthetics of the time.

The body is constructed of metal with a black finish, combined with an extendable bellows and original details that reflect Kodak's quality craftsmanship. When folded, the camera takes on a compact format, designed to accompany the photographer on trips and outdoor excursions.

Originally designed for 1A format film (roll film), today it is a highly prized item for collectors, lovers of analogue photography and vintage décor, either as a display piece or as a functional historical camera (after technical inspection).

20.7 cm, 9.5 cm, 16 cm.
