Summary
Close up stand manufactured by Kodak AG in Germany circa 1970-1980, for use with the Kodak Instamatic camera. This particular example is still in its original box.
The Instamatic camera range was a series of inexpensive, easy-to-use and easy-to-load cameras with built-in flash capacity, that were first launched in 1963. The range proved to be immensely popular and was in production for over 20 years.
