One of my grandfather's cameras - Kodak Autographic, made sometime around 1914-1922. Uses A130 film, which is not available anymore, but the camera still works.

The Kodak No.1A Autographic (c.1914-24) showcased the autographic feature that was introduced in 1914, and made available on several camera lines. Covered in black leather and with a black bellows, it had a small metal stylus, which could be stored on the camera body. It was used via a small window that opened onto the back of the film paper as it traversed through the camera. By opening the small window and applying pressure with the stylus, you could compress the emulsion on the film, and so record a text image of your choice, naming each particular frame. The No.1A made 2-1/4x4-1/4 exposures on No. A116 film.
