The B Ordinary Kodak Camera was manufactured by the Eastman Kodak company from 1891 - 1895. The early A B C Kodak's were designed to be a more affordable camera using the new Eastman photo process but with a simplified less costly construction. The new features provided with this line of camera's introduced the exposure counter, the automatic lock to prevent over advancing film, and most importantly daylight loading. The B Daylight Kodak captured larger images of 3 1/2 x 4 inch size, then the A model. It had a capacity of 24 exposures without reloading. Finished in natural wood. The camera measures 4 1/2 x 4 3/4 x 9 1/2 and weighs 1 pound 13 ounces. Price in 1894 was $10.00.
