Chronology of cameras Hallmark
This is a plastic camera, very lightweight in construction.
This camera closely resembles the early versions of 110 Kodak cameras, such as the Ektra 1, Gimini, Mickey-Matic, etc. The body shape is the same, with a black band at the back of the top, the same recess around the shutter button, and the inverted trapezoid shape when viewed from the front, etc.
The button is round and the flash base is that of a magicube, unlike Kodak cameras which have a rectangular button and flip-flash base. So, is it a Kodak-made (in Singapore) product or a faithful copy?
Magicube
The name Magicube was trademarked by Sylvania in 1970. The Magicube follows the general principle of the Flashcube but has the advantage of not requiring an electrical power source to be ignited.
In the early 1970s, Sylvania filed several patents for percussion-ignited bulbs that could be lit through chemical reactions among the elements contained inside the bulb. It only remained to package them in a plastic cube.
The Magicube is slightly larger than the Flashcube. To avoid any confusion, the shape of the part that inserts into the camera is different between the two models.
