Notes: The Ordinary Kodak is the Kodak without the leather cover.  Originally, it was less expensive than its leather-covered brother, but, inevitably, the beauty of the wood and brass won out, and now commands a premium.  As the smallest version, the "A" commands a premium price above the "B", which, in turn, will be more expensive than the commonest and largest Ordinary, the "C"
