I just thought you all might like to see this 1924 pocket camera that belonged to my grandfather. The thumb screw on the bottom left moves the lens forward and back to focus. A metal lever on the front changes the aperture (4 choices), and the protrusion on the top front is the viewfinder. The bellows slides back (flattens) and closes into the case, which then measures 8x3.25x1.5 inches. When fully open it measures 6 inches front to back. I think folks must have had big pockets back then. I took this photo with my 4.5x2.25x.75 inch iPhone camera.
I have not been able to find film to test its working condition.
