Question on a Vintage Kodak Camera..

[Old Camera Man]

We seem to have a Kodak Folding Camera that does not seem to fit any where in or guides. (McKeown's Guide to Kodak's 1981+ Guide to Antique Cameras; 2006)
The camera has a German Koilos Shutter, and French Lacour Berthiot Lens. What really makes it interesting is that stamped into the leather on the backcover is "3 Autographic Kodak" Then on the cover stamped into the steel is "No.3 Folding Pocket Kodak" The camera shows characteristics of both cameras. As can be seen, the outside is complete, and the bellows pass the light text.

Any comments??

It’s a No. 3 Autographic. It took 122 “postcard” format film, long since discontinued. Kodak made a bunch of variations. The “Autographic” is just a No. 3 with an opening that permitted users to write with a stylus on the film while loaded. Look online for histories, e.g.:

No. 3 Autographic Kodak Camera at Historic Camera

There's always the possibility someone took the original shutter/lens combo off the camera and put on that one, which looks like it might be from a 9x12 camera.

The 3A Kodak used 122 "post card film". The #3 Kodak used 118 film which had an image size of 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.
