The Pocket Kodak is a small leather-covered wooden box camera made from 1895 to 1900. It used the No.102 roll film that was specially made for it with a spool that had geared teeth on one end. Image size was 35×50mm. The Tisdell sector shutter has a single lever for cocking and firing the shutter, later changed to a rotary shutter. The reflecting viewfinder shows a circular image, changed to a rectangle in 1896 (Pocket Kodak '96 model). Early cameras had red leather covering, later ones black leather.

Four variations are listed in Coe [1] and McKeown. [2]
