Description

Eastman Kodak introduced the first 16 mm movie camera in 1923. Called the Cine-Kodak Model A, it was a handcranked aluminum box that sold for $150 by itself or $300 with the matching projector. Production was limited, and the camera was discontinued in 1930. This is a Cine-Kodak type I, it’s the earliest version of the camera. This example is so early that it only has a rear viewfinder rather than the rear and top a few finders that were added fairly quickly in production. The serial number is in the mid 700s. The lens looks clear, the viewfinder look clear, the crank turns freely, and the shutter appears to be working as it should. The aperture lever works smoothly. The focus is stuck. Some of the paint is flaking off, particularly on the side door and top. Please look at the images carefully. This camera displays very nicely, is quite clean, and it even has film! I have successfully filmed with another Cine-Kodak with stuck focus, and it was not an issue with the lens stopped down. This one could well be a user.
