The Vest Pocket Kodak was a series of compact folding cameras made by Eastman Kodak from 1912 to 1935, designed to be portable and fitting conveniently into a pocket. Known as "The Soldier’s Camera" during World War I, it became popular among soldiers and travelers due to its small size and sturdy design, allowing people to document their experiences on the go. It used 127 roll film, which produced images that measured about 1.5 x 2.5 inches, and was one of the first cameras to introduce personal photography to the public.
The original Vest Pocket model was produced from 1912 to 1914, with over 200,000 units sold. The Vest Pocket Autographic was an upgraded version introduced in 1915, featuring a small door in the back of the camera that could be opened to write on the back of the film. A "Special" version of this was also produced, which included some extra features and utilized premium materials like black Morocco leather. Finally, Kodak released the Model B in 1925, featuring quite a different folding mechanism, as well as two other models based on this design.
