Kodak Instamatic X 30 Color Outfit Box Appraisal

Kodak Instamatic X-30 Color Outfit Box

The item is a vintage rectangular cardboard box, primarily colored in a bright yellow with a significant red section on the left side. The red portion features a large, black, stylized 'X' alongside the number '30' also in black, forming 'X30'. This 'X30' graphic suggests the model number or series identifier for the product it contains. The yellow area of the box clearly displays the branding 'KODAK' in black capital letters. Below it, the words 'INSTAMATIC' and 'X-30 COLOR OUTFIT' are present, indicating that the box contains a Kodak Instamatic X-30 camera along with accessories, likely suggesting it was sold as a complete kit for color photography. The 'Kodak' logo, a small red rectangle with the brand name in white, is visible on the bottom right corner of the yellow face. The box appears to be in 'good shape' as per the additional context, showing minimal signs of wear, such as no major tears, creases, or significant discoloration that would suggest poor storage or heavy use. The colors remain vibrant and distinct. The construction is typical for a retail product box of its era, likely made from sturdy, yet lightweight, cardboard. Based on the Instamatic X-30 model, this item dates back to the early to mid-1970s. Its overall condition and clear labeling contribute to its collectibility and value as a complete historical photographic artifact.
