      BackA very striking and attractive camera, used for premiums for such diverse products as Cadbury Chocolates and Australian cigarettes.

      Interesting design for a 120 folder in that the back was hinged along the long side rather than the short end as in other hinged-back folders.

      Important historically as the first Kodak plastic-bodied camera. Constructed from bakelite moldings fabricated by E. K. Cole Ltd. Assembled, using some parts borrowed from Rochester, at Kodak Limited's Harrow factory.
