    Description

    JIFFY VEST POCKET KODAK 1935-42
    The
    Jiffy Kodak V. P.
    is a
    Bakelite
    -bodied
    folding camera
    . The "V. P." designation refers to the "Vest Pocket" size permitted by using
    127 film
    , which in this model provided eight exposures of 6×4.5 cm per roll. The body styling is one of the many designs done for Kodak by
    Walter Dorwin Teague
    .
    Teague was responsible for the design of the famous Sparton table radios, a revamp of the Texaco gas station and logo, TWA identity and early Polaroid cameras. The streamlining effect was achieved by rounding the corners and by having no extraneous decoration.
    The lens is a
    fixed focus
    doublet, with an
    everset
    shutter with instantaneous and B settings. There is a slider for setting either of two lens apertures, "large" or "small", and two
    shutter release
    buttons, one on a short edge of the lens panel, and one on the lower, long edge, for
    landscape
    or
    portrait format
    orientations, along with a folding "brace" for standing on a flat surface
    [1]
    .
    At introduction, the camera was priced at .00.
    This camera is quite usable with modern 127 film. Both the lens/shutter and the bellows seem quite usable but are not guaranteed.
    A striking example of industrial design from the Art Deco period.
    produced during the main Art Deco period
    designed by Walter Dorwin Teague
    Art Deco Streamline Moderne design
    Bakelite body with linear raised striped pattern
    shallow pyramid shape to lens plate
    chrome struts and pop-up finder
    horizontal lines and curved body enhancing the streamline effect.

    Please ask any questions
    PRIOR
    to bidding.
    I’ll ship anywhere if you pay shipping, you are in good standing with PayPal, and PayPal has a confirmed address. You are responsible for any customs duties or import taxes. I will mark the customs export document with the full auction price for “used camera parts”. I will not mark it as a gift.
    Postage to
    Russia
    will be about USD but for that price there is no tracking or insurance available, only a customs form receipt number. If you want tracking or insurance, shipping may double.
    If you want shipping via a private shipper let me know whom you prefer and I will see if their services are available and the cost.
    Several of my recent sales, both cameras and other items, have been to foreign buyers. If you contact them through 'feedback' you may learn how things worked out.
    I recently sold a small Canon flash for USD on eBay (yes, the foreign buyer got a bargain!) Charges were:
    $ 0.20 International listing
    $ 0.78 final value fee for the shipping
    $ 1.00 Final value fee on item
    $ 0.82
    PayPal fee on item and shipping
    $ 2.80 Total
    That looks like 28% to me
