1949 Kodak Tourist Folding Camera With Leather Case and Tripod This is the Kodak Tourist model folding camera, made from 1948 to 1951. It takes 620 roll film, has an eye-level finder, adjustable neck strap, and a Kodet lens with Flash Kodon shutter F/12.5 to 3.2. The camera is in excellent condition inside and out, very clean with no damage or tears to the bellows or interior. The shutter works fine and the lens is clear. I have no access to the type of film it takes so cannot remark on the picture quality.

The camera comes with a brown cowhide leather camera bag marked The Kam-ra Bag. The interior back wall was once lined with some type of protective foam material which has disintegrated with age, and the top flap has a little tape residue from a name label, otherwise it's in good condition. Found inside the front pocket of the bag and included with shipment is a nice set of tripod legs marked only Lead.

1930s Yellowstone Park Painted Leather Photo Album Hand painted leather souvenirs were popular in Yellowstone National Park gift shops in the 1920s and 1930s. This 8-1/2" by 5-3/4" sueded leather photo album is from that time period, with a handpainted scene of the lower waterfalls at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The word Photographs above the falls scene is printed in light green to match the braided binding tie and geometric painted border. Yellowstone Park is hand lettered at one side of the scene.
Inside are 20 sheets of heavy black paper, all with evidence of removed photo mounts. The word Family is written on the first sheet, the only writing in the album. The back cover is plain undecorated leather. Though previously used, there are no tears and only minor wear, mostly to the edges and corners. Overall the album is in very good vintage condition and displays nicely.
