I read somewhere that they were intended to be carried in pocket of a particular type of overcoat that was popular at the time, where the pocket was bizarrely large. I've got some Kodak "pockets" that I can't even fit in the microwave (not that I would do such a foolish thing, of course...). Nice set up you have here. Is it missing it's little stand? (see on the underside of the door - there should be a small metal rectangle, usually says "Kodak" on it - if you flip it out, it will level the camera out) - I see the side-stand is there - the little metal thing at the left corner - if you flip it out to the side it helps stand the camera while taking landscape shots.

Nice image. Funny how they called these Pocket Kodaks....

Nicely done. A tighter crop may have helped us see more detail in the camera.

Well done, but a bit underexposed would have more correct to me

Nice set-up.I'm not crazy about the lighting which looks rather flat. There are too many glares, especially in the velvet at the bottom. I suggest lighting from the side to add more drama and contrast. This looks somewhat literal to me.

softer light would probably work better for this photo.

Wish some of the space was cropped out of the bottom, otherwise I really like this. Its in my top 20.

I like the idea of the composition. I think the camera and the manual being almost parallel to each other takes away from the "random" placement though.
