Kodak Pocket Instamatic 200

This camera used to belong to my Grandfather, before he passed away. Today, I became its owner.

It is a Kodak Pocket Instamatic 200, complete with a single remaining "Magicube" flashcube. The flashcube was a product that had four small flashbulbs in it, each being a use-once flash. The large slab of plastic to the right of the camera is a "flash extender", apparently designed to reduce redeye.

The camera itself was produced by Kodak between 1972 and 1974, according to http://camerapedia.wikia.com. I am quite amazed by the condition of the camera, still in its original case and with the original instruction manual. Evdidence of the care mt Grandfather always took of his possessions.

I wonder if it is possible to buy 110 film cartridges any more?
