In 1962 the last Brownie box was made.

What begun with the Brownie box camera "The Brownie" in 1900 U.S.A. ended with the Brownie

Flash II camera in Australia.

62 years the box model was produced and made place for the more popular and modern looked Starlet, Starflash, Starflex, Starmeter Brownies.

Brownies where made to the last, a compact moulded plastic cartridge loading pocket

camera made by Kodak Limited in 1980.

Maybe someday a digital Brownie will see the light, who knows?

'BROWNIE' FLASH CAMERAS Models II, III and IV

This latest series of 'Brownie' cameras has been specially designed to take the new inexpensive 'Brownie' capacitor Flasholder. They have all the reliability and simplicity of the world famous 'Brownie' range and offer the additional attraction of easy flash photography. All three cameras are strongly constructed, with two built-in view-finders. There is a single-blade type shutter with a plunger shutter release to guard against 'camera shake' which helps the user to take clear, sharp pictures. The cameras take eight pictures 2¼ x 3¼ in. on No. 620 'Kodak' film. Each camera measures 4¾ X 4½ x 3.3/8 in. All these cameras can be loaded with 'Kodacolor' film, for taking full-colour pictures in bright sunshine.

This Flasholder can be used both for synchro-flash pictures on cameras with flash contacts, and for 'open flash' pictures on cameras without flash contacts. It can be attached to any camera which has a standard tripod bush (in. Whitworth thread).

The aluminum reflector is designed for use with the 'midget' type of flashbulb with S.C.C. cap. After the bulb has been fired it is ejected by pressing a small release lever.

A 'Kodak' Flasholder camera bracket is available so that the Flasholder assembly can be attached to cameras of different types.

'Kodak' Flasholder cables are available with different connectors to fit the different flash contacts.

Type J with miniature co-axial plug, to fit the Kodak 'Retinette', 'Brownie' Cresta, Bantam 'Color-snap', 'Kodak' Junior II and Sterling II cameras, and most cameras with shutters of recent continental manufacture.

'Open Flash' pictures can be taken with any camera having a Time or Brief Time setting, using the push button on the front of the Flasholder to fire the bulb.
