I never used the flash attachment, the bulbs were too pricey for me.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-716312416283963882012-09-10T01:15:05.862-04:002012-09-10T01:15:05.862-04:00Sounds like a Brownie Starflash, which retailed fo...Sounds like a Brownie Starflash, which retailed for $9.95.

B&W only. When our family moved to an outer suburb to be closer to work (a dairy), it was too far to commute to his old photo club, and he had given it up by the mid 60s. I once had a Pentax 110 SLR (really) with three lenses, wide angle, regular, and zoom. Lost all but zoom lens at the 1984 Worldcon.<br /><br />In PDX, we have three locos chugging along on a regular basis http://www.orhf.org/ like for the Holiday Express. The SP 4449 was the 1976 Freedom Train loco and seen in the movie Tough Guys.J4rh34dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759694044252710582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-10514197331613452352012-09-08T13:29:30.580-04:002012-09-08T13:29:30.580-04:00That first camera of yours sounds like a Brownie. ...That first camera of yours sounds like a Brownie.
