Only One Available. The Kodak Signet 35 was Kodak's top American-made 35mm camera of the 1950's and the first of the Kodak Signet camera line. The Signet 35 has a coupled coincident image rangefinder, an excellent Ektar 44mm f3.5 lens with rear helicoid focus, automatic film stop counter with double exposure prevention, all built into a sturdy cast aluminum alloy body. The manually cocked Kodak Synchro 300, shutter works well, but compared with the shutters on equivalent German and Japanese cameras of the period, it has significantly fewer speeds (B, 1\/25, 1\/50, 1\/100, and 1\/300). However, time has proved the shutter to be very reliable, especially when compared to some of Kodak's leaf shutters of more impressive specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great Korean War example in its original case. The camera is fully functional, but the data plate on the bottom is missing. However, we were able to trace its date of manufacture to 1953. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is named on the interior to a Mrs. L.E. Baker of Dayton, Ohio. The case has some popped stitching but retains the strap and is in great shape overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very rare camera to find in any condition. Ready to display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45042041815109,"sku":"ONJR26MYAS002","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/43F38816-05B4-40A5-BD75-118452C4B3A5.jpg?v=1779482737","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-korean-war-era-military-issue-kodak-signet-35-film-camera-with-carry-case-fully-functional-missing-data-plate-dated-1953","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
