The Kodak Brownie Reflex non-synchronized camera was manufactured from May 1940 to Aug 1942 in the US. It had a simple bakelite body camera with a main lens and a second-surface keystone reflecting mirror viewfinder. Note the lack of flash synchronization terminals below the main lens.

The Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro model was manufactured from Sept 1941-May 1952 in the US and from 1946 to May 1960 in the UK. Thus the overall model had a 20 year production run.
