Default Two more for my collection

A Brownie Hawkeye Flashfun, given to me by my mom for my b-day a few weeks ago. It was a 'promo item', meaning it was never offered for retail sale. These were made specifically as a marketing tool, as a free gift for responding to an offer. Circa 1961 - 1967.

And something I found today at a flea market - a Kodak Instamatic 700. It has a little corrosion on it, but I had to go ahead and get a shot of it because it's already beautiful. I'll clean it up in a few days and repost.

Circa 1963 - 1966, this was a high end camera - original price was $109.

Interesting journey back in time. $100 would buy a lot back in those days, so that was a pricey camera!
