Description
I probably should have dusted this one off. Anyway, I've inherited my father's old cameras. All of these are ones he or some other relative once used. It has zero visual appeal to me, but it did have its little place in photographic history.

KODAK TRIMLITE INSTAMATIC 28 CAMERA
It used 110 film (which I thought stank, 110 format is associated with prints that are often grainy and unclear)
It was sold from 1975 to 1979 and cost $61, which is about $350 in todays dollars.

This one has a General Electric "Flip Flash". Four flashes, then turn it over and then four more. The camera used a "k size" battery which probably was three button batteries side by side in a cartridge. I think the battery was only to trigger the flash which were shredded zirconium foil and oxygen in a glass bulb. The bulbs still got extremely hot, but they were safer to handle than the other types of bulbs.
