The pocket Kodak No. 1 series II is a folding A120 film camera from the early years of the 20th century. It uses autographic rollfilm that was produced by Eastman Kodak between 1914 and 1934. There's a patent statement dating from 1916 on the body so it can't be earlier than 1916. The negative size is 6×9 cm or 2 1/4× 3 1/4 inch. It has a Kodak anastigmat 108/7,7 lens. That's not a fast lens. The Diomatic No. 0 shutter has six settings, B, T 1/10 1/50 1/100 and 1/200s That's not bad at all. It even has an exposure advice. Select aperture and lighting conditions dull, gray, clear or brillant. At the shown aperture "figures indicate required exposure" as it states on the lever.
The camera was disigned to use A120 film. To benefit from this autographic feature, a stylus with an Art Deco look was included (just above the window). Very often the stylus is lost on cameras you find at photographica fairs.
On the back of the camera, you find the obvious red windows used for framecounting. On this camera, a little advice was imprinted in the black leather:
