Description

This was an incredibly popular, lightweight camera made of molded Bakelite. It is considered iconic because of its massive sales success in the UK and North America, serving as many people's first introduction to photography. Its curved, ergonomic, hand-fitting design was a departure from the traditional square box cameras of the previous era.
