** VERY NICE! **
 
 

With its beautiful Art Deco styling by Walter Dorwin Teague, the Kodak Bantam Special is one of the most beautiful camera designs ever.  The Special's clam shell styling enabled it to become a truly pocketable, and a practical carry everywhere camera.  They were produced from 1936 - 1948, but very few were made during the war. 

It measures only 3 3/16" x 4 13/16" x 1 13/16" deep and weighs in at a petite 17oz.  Its body is remarkably elegant, having a beautiful  black enamel finish with machined aluminum die cast body.  The large chrome knob is the advance.  The smaller chrome catch nearby opens the back.  The chrome catch in the center side opens the camera up.  The chrome catch on the bottom is just a table rest point.  Pre-war models (which this one is) generally use the German made Compur shutter and an uncoated 45/2 Ektar lens with speeds of 1 to 1/500 plus T & B.  If you haven't guessed it yet, the film exposure window in the back door tells the tale.  The Bantam Special  is NOT a 35mm camera ~ it was made for 828 film ~ a paper backed cousin of 35mm.  The film gate size is a slightly larger than 35, at 28x40mm.

 

The owner of this camera states that it was purchased in the late 1930's.  It belonged to his father and has been in the family ever since.  It has been VERY well maintained and is in great shape!  We tested the shutter (as best we can, because we are not vintage camera experts), and it appears to work fine.  This camera is in excellent condition!

There are several related items that also come with this camera (see photos). The outer leather case is broken at the bottom.
