A KODAK Model B "Vanity" Ensemble Art
Deco folding bellows camera with beige case that came in a travel kit with:
Matching
makeup
compact in beautiful metal deco design. Inside the compact are 2 blocks of makeup, 2 velvet application pads, covered by
original tissue from Richard Hudnut. The compact mirror is cracked. The blocks of makeup have also cracked and come apart in one corner. Otherwise original and unused. See photos.
Also included is an ornate metal Deco lipstick holder containing red lipstick. The lipstick also appears unused, however there is red residue on the lid, possibly from extending and unextending the product.
These items plus the camera are arranged in a beige satin case with outer strap. The larger mirror of this case is intact. The camera, lipstick and makeup compact are held in by leather and satin straps and metal clips. The condition of the straps and the satin is excellent, no rips or stains.
The case clicks closed with a metal latch. The latch is clean and works perfectly. Case measures approx. 7" x 3.5"
Also included is a "Picture Taking" instruction book & manual published by Kodak. This book was signed by owner in pen on 2nd page. Otherwise in excellent condition.
Everything was packaged in a Deco outer cardboard box (included). Outer box had been reinforced with masking tape and signed in pen by owner. Inner box is a metallic 3D Deco pattern paper. Very nice. See photos. Box
measures approx 7.25" x 4"
The Camera appears to have never been opened or used. On the outside faceplate of the bellows, the "Autograph Door" leather (?) covering is missing. See Photos. The camera was to take "A-127" Film. Camera measuers approx. 5" x 2.5"
