VV-8-12 with some kind of paint?

I'm astonished with myself for not remembering Plymouth! Especially since I often rode in the 1940 one that my aunt owned. Who could forget the Mayflower logo (Plymouth rock, get it?)? Gone but not forgotten.

Apologies for helping to steer this thread WAY off-topic.

Microtrol, that's a wonderful photo record of the marvelous restoration you accomplished on your 8-12. It'll take me a while to get through all 202 pix, but I'll do it with great interest (and admiration). Many thanks!

Thanks for the advice gentlemen. I have decided its best to pass on this one. If it was a
credenza it would be a different matter and I would take on the challenge.

The camera is a cartridge loading Kodak Premoette Jr No.1. Produce between 1913 and 1923. It uses film pack 520 which is basically cut sheet film (6x9cm) the same size as 120 film. I also have the slightly larger Premoette Jr 1A in my collection of photography equipment.

Interesting---the Premoette Jr. 1 and 1A are not in McKeown, which up to now I had thought was the definitive guide to Kodak cameras. I googled Premoette and came up with this link:

Looks like I'll have something to explore after the SuperBowl game!
