Here is an auction for very clean andexcellent condition Gift Kodak No.1A with the brown bellows (which is theoriginal one). This camera is art deco history that came out in 1930 during theholiday season. This Gift Kodak No.1A camera was one of Walter Dorwin Teaguefabulous designs.The Gift Kodak came in a presentationbox made of cedar with an art deco plate that matched the art deco motif o...f thecamera. The cedar box is in fine shape, and I see no cracks chips on its surface. There is minor wear along the sidesand bottom of this box. On the corner of the top section of the box is a slightchip/mark on one side. Hard to notice. The art deco top design is very nice withonly few minor flaws on its surface. This design matched the art deco motif ofthe camera. Inside part of the box is beautiful and has that cedar smell. I feelthis great example of Kodak Gift Cedar box.The camera had an art deco design onthe door and the lens surround, and was trimmed in rich brown leather. This design is great condition with the camera's art deco elementsbright and clean with only very minor wear. Brown bellows is usually not on found onthese cameras due to deterioration and they were often replaced with blackbellows. The bellows are firm but shows wear along its edges. I see no cracks/holeson surface. Does show wear but not bad for it’s age. The camera body isexcellent condition, has its top strap and back red dot. The shutter works but not “tested” for accuracy. This is old vintage camera and allshutters are not accurate. The viewfinder is bright.One of the best part of this camera is excellentcondition of the “Instruction Booklet”. Has 34 pages, well illustrated, with agold cover. Hard to find in this condition. This Gift Kodak camera and box is beingsold for display or one’s collection. Nice example of Gift Kodak Camera. Overall camera condition is solid “8” outof 10 scale rating. This camera is a rarity for its age and folding cameras. I have seen many Gift Kodak Cameras withboxes but in my opinion, this is outstanding and is a MUST. Please Check all my Pictures above for exact conditions.
