Family heirloom

I went over to Glasgow today to meet a friend for morning tea and then see my mum. When as I was at my mum's, she brought out this old camera that she had come across while clearing out my dad's things. It had belonged to my grandmother. It's a Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic camera, dating to the early 1920s. It has a stylus and an area on the back through which notes could written on the paper backing of the film. It's a real piece of history, both of my family and camera technology, and fascinating to look at. It's in really good condition, so might feasibility still work after a little attention.
