A quick photo of my newest eBay Kodak, the Kodak 35. I have 3 with Flash Diomatic shutter and 3 with rangefinder but this is my first with black knobs and this particular shutter.  |

Even has strap lugs! Looks like Bakelite knobs. Appears to be in nice shape.

Yep, bakelite body,back and strap lugs. Good thing they're thick. Of the 7 I have none have broken strap lugs....yet.

Hi ! I bought this one in LA in the late 1980-s during a US journey. The seller told me, that this camera was manufactured in 1949. No idea, if this is true. It is equipped with a Kodak Anastigmat Special f:3.5/50mm. The housing looks similar to your Kodak 35, but the plate on the back says "DuMont Oscillograph Record Camera". I dont know much about the Kodak 35 and i know quite nothing about an Oscillograph ( a kind of an Oscillosope ? ). I have seen some Oscilloscope-cameras, but they were all big, heavy, unhandy and large-formated Polaroids. I wonder what kind of pictures this camera took from a Oscillograph ? I would be very happy, if there is an answer. MIK   |

MIK,
Using the two letters at the beginning of the lens serial number and the following code, your camera was made in 1948. Since it was used by another manufacturer as a piece of their equipment, it could have been purchased from Kodak in 1948 and resold with the ocillograph at a later date.

An ocillograph is similar to an ocilloscope, but creates the waveform by reflecting a light source off a mirror that is moved by the voltage source onto a light sensitive paper chart. By varying the chart speed, you can stretch out a sine wave for greater accuracy. Even single events can be recorded, such as an intermitant fault, that would be missed on an ocilloscope. I use a multichannel ocillograph at my job to mesasure the times between various relay triggers. We also have used one to troubleshoot intermitant faults to see what other events may have coincided. My guess is that your camera was used on an ocillograph that didn't have a paper recorder, and took a picture of the wave traced by the light reflecting off the moving mirror.

I have a Kodak 35rf from 1949. The pictures that come from it are a lot prettier than the camera.

Have many thanks, Ron. I have not expected that fullness of information ! I have heared about the "camerosity"-code before, but over the years, i just forgott about it. Thank you for reminding me. Thus the seller then told me the truth about the manufacturing date.
