Antique Kodak No. 4A Folding Pocket Camera with Original Leather Case

A wonderfully atmospheric antique Kodak folding pocket camera complete with its original brown leather carry case — a beautiful survivor from the early days of portable photography.

This example is marked:

“Eastman Kodak Company

Rochester, N.Y.

Made in U.S.A.”

with the back stamped:

“U.S. Automatic Shutter No. 4–127”

The collapsible bellows design, scissor struts, black metal body, and compact folding form are all classic features of early 20th century Kodak cameras. Even folded closed, it feels beautifully engineered — a reminder of when photography itself still felt almost magical.

Perfect for:

• photography collectors
• vintage display styling
• library or office décor
• dark academia interiors
• prop styling
• collectors of early technology

The original leather case adds enormous charm and tells the story of travel, family outings, and carefully carried holiday photographs from another era.

Condition:

A genuine antique piece showing age-related wear, surface marks, and patina consistent with age and use. Bellows extend correctly. Untested and sold as a display/collectible piece rather than a working camera. Leather case worn but intact with lovely aged character.

A striking decorative piece with wonderful sculptural form ✨
