Q.R.S. DeVry Model K-1 35mm Camera w/Bakelite Body 1928
This is a Q.R.S. DeVry Model K-1 Series No. A 16358 35mm Bakelite Camera. It was made in Chicago around 1928. It has not been tested with film, but is in very good condition overall.
The top winder is missing, which is a common problem for these cameras. One metal film cassette is included. The front plate, where the lens is mounted, appears to have a small crack. The rest of the camera body looks fine, with no cracks, and a nice brown Bakelite pattern. The lens is 40mm, and is marked GRAF ANASTIGMAT F 7.7. The DeVry stamped leather carry strap is still intact. The body measures 2 1/2 x 3 x 7 1/4 inches.
With its stylish Bakelite body, this is a highly collectible camera.
