Kodak Six-20 Art Déco bellows folding camera, a Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic and a Kodak pin.

1. 
Kodak Six-20 folding camera, manufactored in 1932 by Eastman Kodak U.S.A. Rochester New York (this information is written on the metal plate mounted under the lens) with serialnumber 19257B (engraved on the backside of the support foot) to use 620 film for 8 exposures.

The front and side walls are decorated with an Art Deco motif, with the very special hexagonal (8-angular) shutter plate, executed in enamel and chrome. The folding hinges are also very decorative.

Both the brilliant (the viewing window) and the bellows are in beautiful condition, the Kodak Doublet lens is clean and clear and the shutter is in good working order.
The camera is in a near mint condition, there is only a minor damage on the leatherette on the back of the camera, see the photo, that’s way I qualify the camera as “very good”.

Details:
* Produced during the main Art Deco period;
* Octagonal face plate design with red highlight Kodak;
* Ornate chrome struts;
* Enamelled Art déco side panels with nickel lines and raised diamond with octagonal motifs;
* Pig-grained leatherette;
* Octagonal film winder with original coil;
* Chrome with black enamel brilliant finder.

This camera is a piece of Art!
It is a particularly beautiful object for the collector in the display case, that's where it comes from.

2.
Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic bellows folding camera, manufactored around 1915 and patented in 1913 by Eastman Kodak U.S.A. Rochester New York with serialnumber 263500 (engraved on the backside of the support foot) to use 127 film. 

The camera has normal signs of use caused by age; on the bellows some paint on the corners  is vanishing and on the front few of the letters “Pocket” have lost some black ink and have whitened, the shutter is still in good working order.

The camera comes with the original autographic pencil, mounted on the back of the camera and the original brown leather case.
The “Autographic" feature allowed photographers to sign a note on the top of the film (film was special too), which became visible after the film was developed.

These camera’s were called "The camera Soldier", used a lot during WW1, very easy to handle and so small that it easily slipped into the soldiers pocket.

Enclosed is also a Kodak pin

The camera’s will be carefully packaged and shipped with track and trace.

The photos accompanying this lot are an important part of the description.


Very good
