This camera appears in mint ...condition, I don't see any cosmetic flaws. The black metal body, bellows and stylus (rarely included!) are all pristine, there is no rust. The box shows very minor wear. Need more pictures, just ask?!Camera has NOT been tested, I have never tried to use it, I do not know if it works or not. -----------------------------------------------------------Comes from a smoke/pet free home. PayPal only please. Per eBay payment made within 2 days of auction close. Sorry we do not ship outside the continental US.Please forward any/all questions and happy bidding!
FYIThe Kodak Vest Pocket Model B Autographic Camera was a best-selling folding camera series made from 1925 to 1934. The "VPs" were the first cameras to use smaller 127 film reels. Folded it is really handsome, not bigger than most modern compact cameras. Advertised as "Soldier's camera" during WWI, its back had an area through which notes could be written with a metal stylus onto the paper film backing. It was also marketed as Boy Scout Kodak and Girl Scout Kodak. Its lens was a doublet in a rotary shutter, or a Kodak Periscopic lens in a Kodak shutter.The lens typically had four apertures, set by a thumbwheel on the side of the shutter block, and numbered 1-4. The Model B had to be loaded through the front side, after removing the whole bed and bellows unit.
