Kodak Petite Camera


Can you say cute? This little dainty dandy, a blue [robin's egg shade of green] Kodak Petite camera was manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York from 1929 to 1933. It was modeled after the Vest Pocket Kodak Model B [1925-1934] that used 127 film. Kodak produced this version of the pocket-size folding camera to appeal to the cosmopolitan women of the 1920's and 1930's. It was sold with a matching case and available in five colors, including blue, green, gray, lavender and old rose.

Note that the bellows is black and not a color cordinating shade of green. I wonder if the bellows have been replaced? Thanks for stopping by and happy treasure hunting!
