Default Pocket Photo

Also won this on ebay. Bought it because of the description - I've never heard of such a camera, and looking forward to seeing the back of this picture:

Ebay description:
This is a nice early "Pocket Kodak". When it was introduced in August of 1897 it was one of the first really pocketable cameras with a acceptable (for snap shooters) picture size. It also was a very successful camera, 200.000 being sold until its end in April 1915. The camera took 12 pictures with a size of 2.25 x 3.25 inch (5,5 x 8 cm) on one daylight loading spool. It cost $ 10.
