...what does this big box contain ?...
lets see what's in, pipe, tank, hand holding an old saucepan, to(y)mato soup can, something looking like a camera from far :-) and a cartridge loaded with photographic paper...
trying to assemble,
done !
that's now ac.30cm high strange real camera that is working.
It used direct positive paper that get down to the black tank to be developed !
it came with several cardboards colored costume accessories as glasses, ears, nose, hat, sheriff star..
and crazy funny decors to shoot with...
the box advertise a " RIDICULOUS THING from IDEAL" :-)
The Kookie Camera was made by the Ideal Toy Corporation, of Hollis, New York, in c.1968
Have a look here to an extraordinary 1968 film advertising this incredible camera :-) (and don't forget to come back to visit my page after :-) )
