It's in pretty rough shape, I've been carting it around for over 40 years myself, and all of that folding & unfolding has really taken a toll on the canvas bellows! But I love it! It was my Dad's camera from his high school and college years in the 1930s. I have a number of photos taken by my Dad of his family and friends during this time, so I have to assume they were taken with this camera.
You can read a little more about it on my blog: http://copycatcollector.blogspot.com/2012/05/collection-236-vintage-no-1-pocket.html
Nice to see a little history to go with an old camera, I'm headed to your blog.
OK, I'm back.
Showing the camera with old pictures that it took is the best.
Good idea, I think I'll steal it. :)
That is a nice way to present them a real tribute to your father.
My mother carried camera similar during WW-2 as Army nurse!! I love it!!
