The Kodak Petite was a colored variant of the Vest Pocket Kodak Model B that was introduced in 1929 with marketing aimed at the women due to its stylish appearance. The basic Kodak Petite was produced in 5 colors: blue, gray, green, lavender and old rose. The body featured a diamond pattern to the covering that was repeated on a matching case and bellows in a contrasting color. Conventional folding bed camera for 127 film, based upon the Vest Pocket Kodak Model B, but in various colors. The complete folding section, including the bed, is formed as a single piece that then fits into the roll film back. The two have to be separated to load and remove the film. Special versions were also produced with enamelled faceplates, with some particular variants being produced in limited numbers. Production from 1929 – 1934. Meniscus Lens. Rotary Shutter.
