AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For auction: an imposing, very rare and extraordinary early-20th-century camera with the unmistakable colored bellows—the No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak, produced in the United States by Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester between 1903 and 1909.
The lot presents in overall good vintage condition, with normal signs of use and storage consistent with the object’s over-century age, and is complete with its brass optical block on a rail and the mirror viewfinder.
Optics: The camera is fitted with the original era Bausch & Lomb Rapid Rectilinear lens, housed within an elegant circular brass front group. The lenses appear in good visual condition for a piece of this era.
Mechanics: The lot appears mechanically functional. The historic pneumatic and mechanical F.P.K. Automatic central shutter responds to manual commands, firing regularly at the selectable shutter speeds. The front panel opens correctly and the lensboard slides along the metal rail.
Aesthetics: Good overall vintage condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The outer body retains its original black leather covering with the normal charming signs of time and surface handling.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packing to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
