Special two-tone brown version of The Handle camera, manufactured for Coca-Cola as the "Happy Times" camera from 1978 to 1979. It was sold as a premium by Coca-Cola with purchase of a case of Coca-Cola. It was never available for retail sale. It is the only Kodak instant camera that does not have the Kodak logo on it.
Approximately 25,000 of these were produced. However, the Coca-Cola promotion was not very successful and more than 6,000 of the Happy Times cameras went back to Rochester to be transformed into Kodak Pleasers.
The camera has an electronic shutter that fires between 1/15 to 1/300, has a 100mm lens and a fixed aperture of f.12.7
This camera is is great condition. Polaroid sued Kodak therefore film is no longer made for it. It does take a J type photo battery which is still made. The camera's film area fits almost perfectly 4x5 inch large format sheet film with out modification.
This would be a great addition to a vintage camera collection or that rare piece for a Coca-cola collector.
