Description: This Listing Is For A Rare Antique Kodak No. 1A Autographic Special Folding Camera, late rangefinder-equipped model, in very good condition. (Serial Number: 4647, USA) Camera is in very good condition, considering its age, as camera is over 100 years old.Body is in beautiful shape considering its age, leather covering is fully intact; a part is peeling of the back but could easily be glued back on. Leather top handle is intact.Camera is fitted with a Wollensak Optimo No. 1 Shutter, with an f6.3 Bausch & Lomb Kodak Anastigmat. Shutter fires though speeds not tested for accuracy, and lens has internal fogging.Bellows are in nice shape, with very faint, small pinholes that commonly develop in the corners, but bellows still extend and collapse easily and look very nice.This camera is a later model, produced after 1917, and includes a rangefinder for more accurate focusing. Rangefinder is intact and functional, though a bit foggy.Camera includes original autographic stylus, and a metal Kodak 116 film spool.Body has an extremely unique rear camera back, with a button on the back near the bottom, that releases a bottom section to slide down.This camera is in very good condition, considering the fact it is over 100 years old, and is a very consequential camera model. This model, and the No. 3A Autographic Special, were some of the first cameras fitted with a rangefinder focusing device; and this camera in particular features several names that pioneered photography in the United States: Wollensak, Baush & Lomb, and of course, Eastman Kodak.
