Eastman Anniversary Camera

Eastman Anniversary Camera
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kodak these special cameras where made to be distributed free thru Kodak dealers in North America to children who were 12 years old in 1930. It was based on the No.2 Hawk-Eye premium camera with tan leatherette covering, gilt fittings and a gold foil anniversary sticker on it's side. It uses 120 film - there were 557,000 made. I was pretty stoked to find this in a basement at an estate sale.

...and the point of giving away free cameras to kids - to get them to buy Kodak film of course!
