4 Cameras. Eastman Kodak Camera No1a Autographic Kodak Jr., Kodak Instamatic 104 with Flash attachment, Minolta Pocket Pak 1440Ex, Continental tele-Flash 800Z.
The No. 1A AUTOGRAPHIC KODAK JR. was a folding camera for type 116 Autographic film. It was made in Rochester, NY, USA by Eastman Kodak Company and by Eastman Kodak Company, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This "Autographic" camera was an updated version of the No. 1A Kodak Junior. Kodak autographic cameras appeared in 1914. They were like the previous folding cameras, but the back cover incorporated the autographic feature: a small window in which photographers could write notes on the negative with a metal stylus.
In order to write on the negative you had to load the camera with autographic film. According to Brian Coe, autographic film was sold in different sizes: A116, A118, A120, A122, A123, A126, A127 and A130. "A" prefix stands for "autographic", but they were the same size as conventional films without the A prefix. - Minolta Pocket Pak 440E film camera with a neck/wrist strap.

It is not known when it was introduced, but it appears in a newspaper ad for a store from 1979 [1] It includes both "norm" and "tele" lenses, a built-in flash, and "sunny" and "cloudy" options.
