The Jiffy Kodak V. P. is a Bakelite-bodied folding camera made by Kodak from 1935 to 1942. The "V. P." designation refers to the "Vest Pocket" size permitted by using 127 film, which in this model provided eight exposures of 6×4.5 cm (2½ × 15/8inch) per roll. The body styling is one of the many designs done for Kodak by Walter Dorwin Teague, and is much more compact than the earlier 620 film Jiffy Six-20.
The lens is a fixed focus doublet, with an everset shutter with instantaneous and B settings.
At introduction, it was priced at $5.00.
