Coca-Cola Brownie Starflash
Like so many Kodak cameras, the Brownie Starflash sold well in its
time, making it rather common for collectors today.
Not so common is this two-tone version, available only as a premium
and not for retail sale. It sports appropriate Coca-Cola colors as
well as a "fishtail logo" decal on top.
The original black Starflash was introduced in March of 1957. Other
colors followed a year later, and production of the Coca-Cola model
began in October 1959. This example was made in November of 1959.

Maybe someday I will. :o)
As it is, my cameras are fairly scattered around the house. I'm on the lookout for just the right display case for them.

There are several nice old flashbulbs lurking around in my camera set. Here's one example:

I have a regular Starflash but this is really interesting. Maybe we could end up with a McDonald's badged Nikon D700 :-)

Great pic! I began photography in 1977 with a similar 127 camera, called the World's Fair 1964-65 Flash Camera. It takes AG1 and AG1B bulbs. I still have it, and used it recently for the first time in 30 years. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who enjoys collecting cameras!

I'd love to find this camera in an antique shop somewhere.
John Kratz (19 months ago | reply)
One just sold on eBay for $213! That's quite high though.
This photo was invited and added to the COKE IN ARABIC كوكا كولا group.
