This camera is in rather poor condition but it was not expensive and I thought it looked neat so I bought it. Plus last time I was there I got such a good buy I owe the guy.
On with the info I think I got everything in the subject line but anyway it is an Eastman Kodak No. 3a Pocket Camera Model B-4. The Model 3a started in 1907 and had red bellows. A red bellows camera is something for which I keep an eye out. Also I am looking for one. After 1912 it switched to black bellows. Not much of the black leather is left but it is interesting to see what the bellows look like underneath the leather covering. It is also missing the view finder.
Still it is a nice conversation piece as if I needed another. Should someone come over here there should be plenty of conversation.
What a nice find fort, that's a great looking old camera

Does it still work?
Looks great!
Prices always seem so reasonable on these-- guess there are a heck of a lot of them out there?

Thank you very much McCoyNelson. The shutter still works so it probably could take photos as long as there are no leaks in the bellows.
Thank you very much Scott. There do seem to be a lot. Prices are all over. I usually pay less than $20. Usually $10-15.
Kind of artistic without the leather covering.
Thank you very much SpiritBear. I think that is part of the reason I bought it.
Thank you
