Unusual versions of Kodak's Vest Pocket camera were made in colorful forms, and even customized with fraternal organization insignia like this version for Kappa Nu. The camera, designed to be only one inch thick when folded, has an extending lens and shutter that pull out on struts called "lazy tongs." It made exposures of 1 x 2 ½ inches and enlargements could be made to postcard size.
