No. 3A Folding Pocket Kodak

Small world - My grandfather owned this camera and he lived in Philidelphia. I grew up and now live in Rochester (home of the Eastman Kodak Co.), where this camera was made. When I was growing up, my Dad had a darkroom in the basement, where I learned to develop and print my own pictures. I discovered that this old camera was still light proof, but more importantly, I found a camera shop that had roll film for this camera! I took pictures with the 3A in the early sixties. See the negative and contact print shown under the camera. The photo is of an antique auto with a plate marked 1962. The negatives are 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches; 8 to a roll. The camera is 9-1/2 x 4-3/4 x 1-7/8 inches. This is a "pocket" camera???
