 The Kodak Bantam f/4.5, a teeny-tiny little camera from 1938. Took 828 film. I believe the shutter is inoperable on this one.

You can't quite see it from this angle, but it is a folder/bellows camera - the front part collapses back into the camera body.

I also just realized that yours is labeled a "Bantam", and mine is a "Flash Bantam". Now I need to go find out the difference.

Found some info. The Flash Bantam is the later model and has a connector on the side of the lens assembly to attach wiring for a flash.

Yours looks a lot cleaner an prettier than mine. Perhaps you could help us poor slobs out and tell us the best way to clean these?

Looks like ours were different production years, perhaps. Yours has a body shape with some angles to it and mine had some red lettering around the lens that your does not.
