Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro Model (1941-1952)

The Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro Model was made in Rochester, NY, from 1941 through 1952, with a break in 1942-45 caused by the Second World War. It has a simple, uncoated, fixed focus meniscus lens and a single speed shutter with a time setting. The finder is a large, waist level brilliant finder. A Brownie Flasholder attaches to the posts on the side and top and plugs into the pins on the front. The camera takes the Kodak 127 film that was discontinued in 1995. This is yet another iteration of the basic Brownie box camera that Eastman Kodak Company made starting in 1900. There are about 100 different versions of the Kodak Brownie. Untold millions of family snapshots were taken using them.
