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.

Bill41, thanks for the link.

If it does, indeed, produce 2-1/2"X4-1/4" it cannot be using 127 or 820 film. You could remove the back and measure the rectangular opening where the film goes. It is more likely to be 116 or 616 film. Might be tough to come by.

I thought the Junior Autographics had smaller formats.

I believe you're right, Bill. But I thought someone said it may be the larger format? Maybe it's still an unknown.

Entire shutter and bellows assembly removes to reveal film in tub (outer housing). Held in by sliding flat two tab retainer bar and folding clip...tight fit.

116 is a roll film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899 for 2½×4¼ inch negatives (nominally 6.5×11 cm). The film stock is 70mm wide: wider than that of 120 film.
In 1932, Kodak introduced 616 film. This has a slightly slimmer spool (originally metal rather than wood). Kodak discontinued both 116 and 616 in 1984.

With some ingenuity, 120 film can be used with cameras designed for 116 and 616, as can 70mm film. Remember that if you respool 120 film onto 116/616 spools and have it developed at a lab, you must ask for your 116/616 spools back. Otherwise they'll be thrown away!

Found this on the "Property Room" auction site
http://www.propertyroom.com/l/antique-1908-folding-pocket-kodak-camera/8296109 Camera is identified as a 1908 Kodak No. 1A Special Model "D." Looks identical to yours (note the center badge especially). See also the description below.

I believe the most likely prospect is 120 roll film (maybe 116) and certainly not 620. 120 came out in 1901. 620 did not come on the market until 1935. Your camera likely came on the market in 1910 and remained there for 3 or 4 years placing it in the time frame your family acquired it. 120 roll film is still available today it can be used to produce negatives in several sizes on the long side. Measure the film track. If it is 116 it will be 70mm wide. If 120 it will be 60mm (6cm) wide.

That looks like a Kodak Proemette. I have the same thing upstairs, sitting in its original box. It belonged to my brandfather. I see you got the fancy model with the red bellows. Mine is plain black. :cry:

If you look online, you can find a copy of the owner's manual. I thought about putting it on ebay, but there were so many being offered, and the prices were very low, so I'll keep it in its box.
