 Only if you're time machine is working. OTOH you might be able to get
something that will fit if you can live without the autographic feature.
That's the camera with the door on the back for writing on the film?

      Do you know what size film it uses? Or the camera model? At the very
least measure the spools. My guess it might have used 116 film. If it did
that's not available factory made anymore. You can adapt the camera to use
120 maybe. Or hand roll 70mm film to use with the camera but that's got it's
own issues.

   But first find out what sort of film the camera needs.

It used 127 film, 4 x 6.5 cm, eight exposures. Look at
http://www.jandcphoto.com/ but you will not find autographic ones, they
have been discontinued a long time ago.

Not necessarily.  The OP did not specify the camera.  I have a Kodak
from that era that took 116 film.

116 film was a 6,5 x 11 cm, 8 exposures film. Kodak made cameras for
that film and other 6 x 9 cm cameras with back door and pencil for
autographic film but as far as I know, they where not called Vest
Pockat. The pocket should have to be large.

The Kodak Vest Pocket (1912-1926) is 6 x 12 x 2.5 cm.

If your vestpocket takes 127 roll film you can get 127 roll film from
Film for Classics among other sources- they have:
B&W
Efke,  ISO 100
8/12
$8.00

Color  Print
Kodak  Portra NC, ISO 160
8/12
$10.00

Color Slide
Ektachrome E100S
8/12
$12.00

but you will have a tough time getting good slide exposures with that camera.
Film for Classics: http://www.filmforclassics.com/

Better prices (same B&W but lesser quality color print and slide) can
be found at:
http://www.jandcphoto.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=9

Again, assuming you have a 127 size Vest Pocket
