Hanna Barbera: Fred Flintstone (126)

Postby bill339 » Tue Jan 03, 2017 3:34 pm

The Fred Flintstone camera was introduced in 1978 to coincide with a compilation series “Fred Flintstone and Friends” (1977-1978). The original show ran from September 1960 to April 1966 and has aired in reruns plus other forms to this date. The camera is listed as a 126 film cartridge toy camera. The camera instructions on the back of the original packing direct you to load 126 Kodacolor film or Kodak Verichrome for black and white prints and Kodachrome-X or Ektachrome-X for color transparencies. The focus range is 4 feet to infinity and a window in the back of the camera shows the number of exposures and film type. The camera labeling on the original package recommends for use by children ages 3 and up and made in Hong Kong also can be found. The made in Hong Kong label in reinforced by the embossed lettering on the frame of the film view window on the back of the camera and some packaging has the IMCO logo that stands for IMCO Toy LTD now known as HKTDC (exporter from Hong Kong). The viewfinder is a frame type with no optics, just clear plastic. The camera also has a film advance knob on the top, shutter release by Fred’s nose, and comes with a handy carry strap.
