Well this thread certainly caught my attention, as I own the exact same camera! I snagged mine a few months ago; a lovely museum piece in absolutely pristine condition, inside and out. (even the original case is flawless) It looks and functions every bit as perfect as the day it was made 95 years ago.
Your Autographic 1A was manufactured in 1917. The lens is very sharp and contrasty. There are still many online sources of film for this camera. As for any leaks in the bellows, you can use either fabric paint or dark nail polish, and you're good to go! I am amazed to see that yours is the exact same model and year as mine, as it is indeed quite rare to find one in working condition, as the vast majority of these cameras today are the "Junior" models.
Here's a shot of my Autographic 1A.
