Cine Kodak Eight Model 25 8mm Camera Shelf Piece

The Cine-Kodak Eight Model 25 is a beautifully crafted 8mm motion picture camera produced by Eastman Kodak between 1932 and 1946. With its sleek, Art Deco-inspired metal body, nickel-plated details, and classic wind-up mechanism, it remains one of the most visually iconic early consumer movie cameras. Designed to make home movies accessible to the average person, it was one of Kodak’s first ventures into the 8mm format—splitting 16mm film in half for more economical shooting.

This camera is completely mechanical—no batteries required—and uses double 8mm (split 16mm) film. The turret-mounted fixed-focus Kodak Anastigmat 13mm f/3.5 lens delivers surprisingly sharp images for its era when the camera is in working condition.
