Kodak No.3 Folding Pocket Kodak, Model C-3

Within the popular Folding Pocket Kodak line of cameras, the #3 probably came with the most numerous model designations and manufacturing variations. The camera in the illustration is just a representative sample of a later red bellows version of the #3 with a particularly handsome B&L Automatic shutter. These cameras took 3¼x4¼ negatives on type 118 roll film. The 3¼x4¼ photograph was the same size as the traditional 'lantern slide' plate that had already been popular for several decades when these cameras were introduced in 1900.
