Summary
Kodak Instamatic 104 camera, produced by Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, 1965-1968.
This item came in a packaging box with an instruction manual.
The Instamatic camera range was a series of inexpensive, easy-to-use and easy-to-load cameras which proved to be immensely popular.
From 1965 the Instamatic 104 was assembled in Australia from imported parts by the Camera, Reels and Sundries Department in Building 15 at Kodak Australasia's new factory in Coburg. Kodak Australasia went on to produce numerous other Instamatic models over the next two decades.
This object is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Physical Description
Black plastic and metal camera with connection point for a flash cube. This camera came with its instruction booklet and was still inside its original packaging box. The camera and instruction booklet were removed from the box for storage, and registered separately.
