Kodak Vest Pocket Model B camera

The Vest Pocket Kodak Model B is an iconic vintage camera manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Company. Originally introduced in the 1920s, it was designed as a compact, portable folding camera that could literally fit into a vest pocket, making it highly popular with soldiers and travelers during that era.

The brand was founded in Rochester, New York, by George Eastman, who revolutionized photography by making it accessible to the general public. While the brand has undergone significant corporate shifts over the decades, the historical manufacturing for this specific model was primarily centered in the United States. Today, the Kodak brand is managed by Eastman Kodak Company, which continues to hold its headquarters in New York, focusing on digital imaging and professional print services.
