Kodak Signet 35
[1951-1958]
The Signet 35 was a very rugged camera made of die-cast aluminum. Although not aesthetically pleasing, the Signet incorporated a full compliment of features including rangefinder focusing, flash sync, cable release socket and a good quality Ektar lens. There were versions manufactured for the US Army and Air Force. The differences were in the finish (military versions were in olive and black colours).
The lens on this Signet has the serial number RO4064, indicating that it was manufactured in 1951 (determined using the Kodak serial number coding. See the Resource page for an an explanation of how the code works).

Brownie Hawkeye Flash
[1950-1961]
TThe Hawkeye is a true descendant of the Brownie. The camera was easy to load, incorporated a simple singe speed shutter and a single meniscus lens. Made of smooth bakelite with rounded features, the camera is a classic design. The flash was preceded by a non flash model. The camera used 620 film which is no longer manufactured, however, 120 film re-spooled onto the thinner 620 spool will work in this camera.
