We were pleased to find this little beauty our our doorstep a few weeks ago from Brad’s grandparents’ home in Michigan.
It’s in great shape and came complete with flash, blubs, and manual. (And believe it or not, they had two! We are honored to have been given one.)
Fun branding for the “Midget Flasholder.”
The viewfinder is a crazy contraption. You don’t put your eye right up to, but look through from about a foot away. It’s amazing how clear the image looks!
The graphic design for the manual is stellar. Simple shapes, bright colors, and good type never go out of style.
And for those who have one, you can respool it to be able to shoot modern film!

This is a spam comment, but we love brownies, so we’ll let it slide.
There are three main myths about the creation of the brownie. The first, that a chef accidentally added melted chocolate to biscuit dough. The second, a cook forgot to add flour to the batter. And thirdly, the most popular belief, that a housewife did not have baking powder and improvised with this new treat. It was said that she was baking for guests and decided to serve these flattened cakes to them. This became our beloved treat of today. Whatever may be the case; all three myths have gained popularity throughout the years due to its mysterious beginnings.
