Kodak Signet

The first model was the Signet 35 made between February 1951 - March 1958.

All used a significant amount of plastic except the Signet 35 which was machined from an aluminum casting, and shared style and durability with the Kodak Chevron camera (continuation of the Kodak Medalist series).

The Signet line had quality control and design issues which limited appeal and durability.

Despite limitations, the lenses are considered to be good, producing sharp images.

The Signet 35 has a coupled coincident image rangefinder,[1] an excellent Ektar 44mm f3.5 lens with rear helicoid focus, automatic film stop counter with double exposure prevention, all built into a sturdy cast aluminum alloy body.

The Kodak Signet 35 was a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by the Eastman Kodak Company from 1951 to 1958.
