1930’s Kodak folding bellows camera

During the 1970’s I collected a few old cameras. Most of them were common cameras that sold for three to six dollars when they were new in the 1930’s.

Inside the back cover of the camera is a Kodak decal that shows several patent numbers and a picture of a yellow Kodak Verichrome panchromatic film box.

It says, “Use Kodak film V616 or 616”. It also says, “Use Kodak film in the yellow box.”

The sides of the camera are decorated with a pleasing art deco design.

I found this camera in a little antique shop located in the basement of a house near downtown Beatrice, Nebraska in 1979.
