about '16-'18 ish. No official dates before '21. this seems to be the 146th Compact 5x7 made.

Thanks to Bert and Gandolf, this is getting more and more interesting. Local Kodak people, who marketed the camera at the time, and have some archival reference, assure me it is NOT an English version as Bert has suggested. Apparently all Aussie sold cameras were imported from US ...Unless of course they were brought back from Europe privately. Maybe the leg bone is connected to the shoulder bone in this case Bert?  |
