Designer
Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960) designed this Art Deco camera and box in 1930 for the Eastman-Kodak Company in Rochester, New York for the Christmas season. Known as the Kodak "1A Gift" model, Teague's structured enamel design on the cedar box is repeated on the matching front of the camera and is emblematic of the collective embracement of the Art Deco movement in the United States. The camera is illustrated in J. Stewart Johnson's "American Modern 1925-1940: Design for a New Age," 2000. The camera retains manufacturer's marks. Camera: 2.5" tall x 8" long x 4.5" wide Case: 3.5" tall x 9" long x 6.5" wide. Chairish sells electronic items only with the display as the intended use.
