Eastman Kodak No.1 Pocket Kodak Junior Model B Camera - Brown

The No.1 Pocket Kodak Junior is a folding-bed, medium format camera produced by the Eastman Kodak Company in the early 20th century. Compact and cleverly engineered, it uses 120 roll film to create large 6x9cm negatives. These cameras were equipped with a simple meniscus lens and a Kodo shutter offering just T (Time) and I (Instant) modes—minimalist but effective for everyday photography in its time.

Offered in a variety of colors, this example comes in brown leatherette, a less common and more visually striking variation than the typical black finish. It folds flat for easy storage, with a pop-up viewfinder and metal lens standard that extends on a folding bed. With its classic design and vintage charm, this is a wonderful piece for collectors, decorators, or analog photography fans.

Condition:
Excellent Display Condition – Functioning

The shutter fires on both T and I settings, and the bellows extends and locks securely in place. The lens is clear with typical light dust from age but no damage, and the viewfinder is intact and functional. The brown leatherette covering is in very nice condition, and the metal components show only light patina. While the camera is functional, we recommend it primarily as a display piece due to the inherent limitations and variability of early 20th-century shutters.
