Kodak Mini Enlarger, Model 1

[wubaja]

I have an Eastman Kodak "Mini" Enlarger and the only "identifying data" is the patent number and that it is a Model 1. I bought it from a friend in the mid 1970's but never used it! Now, I'm wondering if it is something that I should pass on to my grandkids as an heirloom, sell on e-Bay or Craigs, donate to a museum, or just put on the shelf as a decoration.

Does anyone have any idea of its value to a collector or ?????

Thanks in advance for your help.

What condition is it in? Can you post a picture?

wubaja,

Did you find out anything about your enlarger? Would you please send me a picture or two of your enlarger.

I think these are the pictures of the enlarger in question. The OP can confirm or correct me if not.

Thanks Fotch,

It is not the same thing that I have I think mine may have been more of a toy.

Thanks again,

Kodak Portable Miniature Enlarger Model 1

I have one of these units that I got from a friend long ago. It is in great shape and very small. He used it as a military photographer way way back. It is so small he could set up shop in a pup tent. I have attached a picture of the unit beside a standard guitar for comparison. This would be perfect for someone with very limited space.

Welcome to APUG. Use it, have some fun.

Unscrew the lens so the light shines down. Set a white lamp shade on the baseboard and use it as a decorative lamp.
