Recently got from my dad whose 92. Doesn't know anything about it. Can someone help identify it? I looked on internet by no pics seem to match it. Front door won't open. Small knurled wheel slides sideways to apparently unlock. I can hear and feel the mechanism move as i roll the wheel but the door won't open. Any suggestions? How would you safely clean this camera? Am I correct to say that this camera is unusable due to no film available? Thanks for any input.

I would guess the knurled wheel isn't for opening the front, but for moving the lens forward and backward, as on this camera:

Kodak would sometimes hide a button for opening the bed on the side of the camera, under the leather covering. I would try looking on the side not shown in the photos, near where the strap attaches.
Thanks John. I will look for the hidden latch tonight.
