a late 1930s CKC ad for a Christmas gift in a wooden presentation box
Toronto. Early in our history, Canadian Kodak contributed to us for printing a vintage ad from CKC on the back page of our journal. This ad for an art-deco folder announced a perfect Christmas gift. Unfortunately it was the May/June 1987 issue and released very late!
As a gift , Kodak enclosed the camera in a presentation box made of cedar. The wood was coloured ebony and the exterior of the box mimicked the shutter with its art-deco design. While undated the ad and camera appear to be late 1930s (my father bought his somewhat fancier Brownie art-deco Kodak in that period).
The camera and cedar box would be a wonderful addition to any camera collection even today. Drop by one of our events this fall and you too may spot one of these beautiful items – or another exotic piece just waiting for your keen eye!
