I have a Brownie camera with the inscription FIFTHIETH ANNIVERSARY OF KODAK 1881-1930. What model would this be?

The inscription says the model! It was a gift for people born in 1918 (having 12 years on 1930). Kodage gave 500.000 of them in the U.S. and 50.000 in Canada. Canadian type it is a little bit rarest. Worth is around 20-30 USD according to latest auctions on EBAY but it depends to the conservation's state of the camera. Anyway if it is a family piece I suggest you to not sell it. Any other info can be found on the book: "collectors guide to KODAK cameras" by Jim & Joan McKeown at page 80. Hope it can be useful for you. All the best Jerry (halley@iol.it)
