Description

An instruction sheet for the Kodak Self Timer, ca.1910s-1920s. The sheet gives instructions for the operation of the device with corresponding illustrations. Attaching the device to a Kodak camera and turning the screw could set the camera to take a photograph after different intervals of time. The timer appeared in Kodak catalogs as early as 1918. With minor tears, moderate discoloration, creases, folds, holes, and moderate embrittlement, the object is in poor condition overall.
