St. Joseph Museums

The image displays an antique folding camera, characterized by its rectangular box shape and black, textured leather casing. The camera appears to be in a folded position, showing the back side where the metal components and screws are visible. There is a metallic mechanism on the right side, possibly for opening or adjusting parts of the camera. A small plaque on the right side indicates it is manufactured by Eastman Kodak Company and identifies the type of film it uses as "No. 120." The body exhibits signs of wear, with scuffs and minor scratches that suggest its age and use over time. The surface beneath the camera is a sparkling textured material, which might be bubble wrap, providing a reflective effect that enhances the antique look of the camera. The worn edges and slightly exposed hardware reveal the enduring design typical of early 20th-century photographic equipment, reflecting a bygone era of classic film photography and craftsmanship.
