For Sale Kodak catalogue circa 1955.

[JohnC]

Probably of most interest to Australian Apugers. This 62 page catalogue is an entertaining example of the copywriters art of that era, presenting the features of Brownies, Retinas and Flexarets etc in breathless prose. Inserted in the catalogue is the Australian price list. It was a time when you could wander down to George Street Sydney and buy a 'blad for 184 pounds 5 shilligs, or a Brownie 127 for one Pound 11 shillings 8 pence. Buy some 620 film for 3/11d. And pick up a gallon of Dektol for 9/6d.

Page 62 lists the 15 Kodak stores throughout Australia - including Ballarat, Katoomba, Launceston and Toowoomba ! Note the models, they were real and cuddly.

This would be a must-have for collectors of Kodak stuff, Price $30 plus postage.
