Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Special Medium format camera

Offered: Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic Special — a remarkable piece of photographic history from the early 20th century.

This elegant folding camera was produced by Eastman Kodak Company in the United States between 1915 and 1926 and was known as a luxury version within the popular Vest Pocket series. Thanks to its compact size, this type of camera was widely carried by soldiers, travelers and amateur photographers at the time. The camera even earned the nickname “The Soldier’s Kodak” during World War I.
The camera is in good condition, considering its age of more than 100 years, with normal signs of use and aging. A beautiful collecting object for antique photography enthusiasts, decoration or historic cameras.
A special detail is the “customs seal” with the image of a lion, which gives the camera extra character and a historic appearance.
