While at home for Fathers Day I asked my dad if he still had any of his old cameras around. When I say old I'm thinking 50's or 60's. The camera he used to take the family pics when we were growing up. I was pleasantly surprised when he got out his first camera. It was a hand me down from his parents that he got when he was 18. That was in 1940. I'm not sure how old the camera is. There is a patent date of 1910 on it. Everything on it works. I would like to find film for it and see what kind of pictures it takes. If anybody knows what type of film it uses and where I can get it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks olcoach. Near as I can tell, the camera is about 100 years old.

That appears to be it. On mine the inside of the film compartment door is stamped No. 1A Folding Pocket Kodak. R.R. lens type. Model D. There are some patent dates also, from 1898 to 1910.

I think you're right. If so, I believe it took 828 or 127 roll film. For film, contact

I think I'll dig out my old "Kokak Autographic 3A" ad see if it still works.
