Chronology of cameras Kodak
The second model of Retinette may be recognized by its black top cover (it was partially rubbed by a previous owner) on two levels, one of which is covered with sheathing. The body is similar to the Retina of the same time.
The trim of the shutter is polished and makes a nice little mirror. A discreet AGC logo allows us to identify the manufacturer of the shutter, but the model name is invisible, unless it is covered by the small Kodak plate that shows the speeds.
Almost 75 years after its factory release, it is still functional, just a little slicked down.
The beginning of the war ended its career prematurely.
