History Of Use: The pocket Kodak No.1 series II was a folding film camera made from 1922 to 1931. It used autographic roll film that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934. All Pocket Kodak cameras had the autographic feature. The negative size was 6×9 cm or 2 1/4×3 1/4 inch. It had a Kodak anastigmat 108/7, 7 lens, which was not a very fast lens. The Diomatic No. 0 shutter had six settings: B, T, 1/10, 1/50, 1/100, and 1/200s. It even had select aperture and lighting conditions: dull, gray, clear or brilliant. To benefit from the camera’s autographic feature, a stylus with an Art Deco look was included. The stylus for this example has been lost. On the back of the camera was the windows used for frame counting. On this camera, a little advice was imprinted in the black leather: use film No A116.
