Wholesale Kodak A Model 11, bellows folding camera with original leather case

The Kodak A Model 11 is one of the most elegant folding cameras produced by Kodak-Pathé France in the years 1953–1960. Its two-tone silhouette, black bakelite body and taupe gray top, its black accordion bellows and its chrome-ringed lens make it a photographic object of great formal sobriety, representative of post-war French industrial design. This example comes with its original brown leather case, in very good condition, with its chrome snap closure. The interior of the film chamber is clean, the bellows are intact with no visible tears, and the film advance mechanism is present. The camera operates on 620 format, a medium format film now available from specialty suppliers of analog photography. Placed on a shelf or desk, it immediately evokes family Sundays, holiday photos on film and that era when taking photographs was a considered act. A collectible item for enthusiasts of vintage photography, industrial design or retro décor. The state of preservation is very satisfactory for a camera of this age, with the natural patina of time on the metal parts.
