Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash No. 4

I finally got around to cleaning and photographing my fourth Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera. I plan on shooting with it this weekend, so I wanted it to be in tip-top shape before I took it out. This picture was shot in a mirror.

I loaded some Kodak Portra 160VC into my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera because I plan on taking it out this weekend and shoot with it. It normally takes 620 film, but a spool of 120 fits in it. As long as I use a regular 620 takeup spool winds better than a 120 spool, so this combination seems to work well in one of these cameras.
