I hit something wrong. Anyway if you want to do this you need film & chemicals. You can get them from Freestyle Photographic. "Go to eBay for your film holders. If they seem high over $7 wait a few days and look again. To develope the film you need three pans about 8 X 10 or a little bigger whatever you have. You need to get in a room or closet that is completley dark. Unload the film from the film holder put it in the first tray that has developer in it (I use D76) for the amount of time it needs. You use a guide that comes with the developer that tells how long at what ever temp it is 68 degress is best. Before I had a timer I would pick some songs on an LP that were about the time I needed and go in the dark and start when that son came up. Then you move it to a stop bath. I used water for 2 min then move to fixer this takes about 10 min you can turn a light on after about 3 It may be cloudy but will clear up. You need to swish the film around severel times in each step. Then you wash the film for about 30 min and hang it up to dry. Now you have a neg that you can scan and with some programs pring from there or you can print them in a dark room shich is much like doing the film. You just put the negative on top of photographic paper and turn a whitle light on for 20 sec (this can take a lot more or less time. To find out how long use 1x4 paper and make a test then use more time if too light and less if to dark. You can do the printing with a safe light. I have used red or orange christmas lights and they worked. I'm sure that this is all clear as mud but may give you and idea what you need to do - Dave

Thanks that is very help-ful, but I have another resource available. Our local high school has a dark room and I know a guy that knows the teacher and he might be interested in this also. can never be to old to go back to school.
Thanks Mate

I can't help you...but I got so excited when I saw your camera 'cause I just dug my dad's camera out of the bottom of the hope chest. It doesn't have wood..it's all black. The bellows are in perfect shape. I took pictures of it to show everyone here, but can't get pictures off my memory card right now to show to you. It's also an Eastman Kodak; No.1 (looks like possibly an A after the 1..not sure), Series 2, Pocket Kodak.
My dad was born in 1905, so I'm guessing this may be from 1915-1920. I believe I have pictures that were taken with this camera. I can't wait to show it to you! Good luck with yours!
