The Kombi Camera
From the Montgomery Ward Catalogue of 1895:
24350 THE KOMBI. A small, thoroughly practical, pocket camera: made of metal, bronze finished, measures 2×1½ inches, and weighs, when loaded for twenty-five exposures, about four ounces. It takes films and makes a picture 1 1/8 x 1 1/8 inches square, or a circle picture 1 1/8 inches in diameter. With the camera is combined a magnifying graphoscope, for viewing the photographs when developed and printed upon a strip of translucent material.
Price, in cloth-covered case ….. $3.50

I’m surprised such a small camera existed in the 1890s. More information about the Kombi is available at Scott’s Photographica Collection.
