No. 1 Autographic Kodak Jr.
|
The No. 1 Kodak Autographic Junior was a folding camera for 120 film (6x9 cm). It was introduced in 1914, replacing the No. 1 Kodak Junior.
The Autographic version added a window on the back in which the user could write notes on the film using a metal stylus.
It was made by Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester and some units may also have been made in Canada.
With more than 800,000 units made[1], it was discontinued in 1927.
According to Brian Coe[1], the No. 1 Autographic Jr. can be found in different lens and shutter combinations:
