WorkhorseDescription
A complete vintage Kodak Bantam set featuring the original Art Deco-styled box, instructional manuals, and a mechanical cable release. This camera is historically significant for its design by Walter Dorwin Teague and for introducing the 828 film format—a paper-backed 35mm film without sprocket holes that allowed for a larger image area than standard 35mm. The body is constructed of molded Bakelite with a pop-out front facilitated by a folding bellows system. This specific version features the f/8 fixed-focus lens and a simple instantaneous shutter, marketed as an easy-to-use but stylish "vest pocket" companion. Finding the original box and paperwork intact is particularly notable for collectors of mid-century industrial design.Category
