  1. I have a model c Kodak pocket 3A but it has a red bellow. Is that a color that was available or was the bellow dyed?

  2. I’m pretty sure it was available with red bellows as well - many of the old Kodak folding cameras were.

  3. I believe the red bellows is an earlier model. Maybe the Model B. Just image search on google. you’ll see it :)

  4. I have one that is marked 1908 on the front which has an extra engraved label not seen on yours, and on the inside, the patents are up to 1910. Is it possible some of these
    cameras are older than 1912?

  5. My lens bevel is black and not bronze. Which 3a model would that be?

  6. I have a Folding Pocket Model C Kodak camera, and I can’t figure out how to unfold the lens. I don’t want to force it, and break it. Am I just missing something simple?

  7. Laurel - There’s two little tabs just under the lens that when pushed together will release the lens and let it slide.

  8. How much do you think one of these would cost right now?

  9. Probably not much. I don’t think I spent more than 20 bucks on any of my old cameras.
