"Metal body, styled by Walter Dorwin Teague with two-tone enamelled
geometric Art Deco design front panel, in five colors - black, blue,
rose, green and tan, with matching leatherette covering (green and
rose models sold only in 1930 and 1931, and were not available in UK,
although a maroon version was available). The doublet lens allowed
a shorter body than with the usual Brownie boxes." (Coe, B, 1988).
