Vintage Serviced Kodak 35, Kodaks 1st U.S. made 35mm Camera, 51mm f/4.5. 1940's

Description: Recently serviced Vintage Kodak 35, ready for film. This is Kodak's first U.S. made 35mm camera and has the Anastigmat 51mm f/4.5 lens. This is the second version of this camera which dates it to around 1944. I've serviced many of these in the past, they are getting harder to find in this condition. Shutter now fires at all speeds and sounds accurate, lens cleaned up very well, focus is now smooth, self timer works flawlessly. The strap and rings are not original. Note; I'm including the original leather case but keep in mind that the leather case is very fragile and can tear easily. It also fits the camera "very" snug so you have to take care in removing the bottom half, take your time with alternate unscrewing and sliding one side at a time. Try to keep things equal when sliding if off. I've taken the time to glue and stitch some key areas but still it's very fragile. No hard tugging or you'll tear it. I'll be listing other versions of this camera as time goes by so check out what I have listed when you get a chance. This camera has a particular way of loading the film, advancing the film, taking the shot and rewinding the film. It is advised that you find an Owners Manual pdf file online and study it well before using. Once you get used to it I think you'll get a kick out of using this camera. A piece of history. This one is a nice example. This shutter system has the self timer. Make sure you have the shutter cocked first before setting the timer and be careful not to touch the shutter button until you're ready or you'll set the timer in motion, you can't stop it after that. Any questions feel free to ask.
