Well Travelled Kodakby ~WarBrony

Photography / Other

~From My Personal Collection~

At first, you might say that this VP Kodak isn't in the best condition for a collectable, but it is in fact a very special camera. This particular camera was carried through WWI by a soldier in Co. H of the 47th Infantry and through WWII in Co. B of a larger unidentified group. Maybe the camera was passed from father to son? I'm still researching the scratched in writing on the back and I will update this info if I learn anything new! I hope you all appreciate the great history in this well loved piece of Americana as much as I do.

If you have any information past the basics of this piece, I'd love to hear it!

P.S. If you are offended by the fact that there is a swastika in this photo please take your hurt feelings elsewhere. Just like everything else in the photo, the coins are meant to add some historical context. Yes, the swastika represents a terrible part of our past but it is also important to remember. History should not be censored for your convenience. Believe it or not, I am not a Nazi. (Someone actually sent me a note complaining about this) :/

One fine shot of an old classic. Swastika, incidentally, is millennia old. If memory serves, in now ancient India it symbolized social welfare.

very cool. Do not worry. Only the ignorant do not understand history.

Thanks a bunch. Btw good sir, you have a great page!

Thanks. The WWI re-enactment images I just adjusted. Much of the WWI post cards are from my collection. You are always welcome to check the page out.
