Kodak Box Camera

"In the 30s every home had a Kodak box camera. (The plate on the front of this camera is flipped.) The two circular windows should be on upper left." In the 1920s and 30s the venerable Eastman Kodak box camera became a staple in many households. The camera was easy to use and produced fairly good pictures. The main instruction for its use was "when taking a picture always have the sun at your back!!" |
