Kodak Folding Pocket No.1A Mod C

The Kodak Folding Pocket No.1A Mod C represents a typical consumer-level folding camera from Kodak's extensive mid-20th century lineup, designed to make photography simple and portable. Utilizing roll film (likely 116 or 616 format, common for "Pocket" models), its design centers around a collapsible bellows that reduces the camera's size for carrying, with a basic viewfinder and simple controls typical of the era. Constructed from metal and covered in durable leatherette or similar material, it was a practical tool for amateur photographers seeking convenience over complexity. Its production period likely spanned the 1930s through the 1950s, reflecting Kodak's strategy of offering reliable, easy-to-use cameras for the mass market, democratizing snapshot photography.
