The model 100 was one of Kodak's first Instamatic cameras released in the USA, along with Kodak's introduction of the drop-in 126 film (Kodapak) cartridge.
The button on the front released a pop-up flash holder for a single AG-1 peanut flashbulb. Elevating the flash holder slows the shutter speed to 1/40th of a second whether there is a flashbulb in the holder or not.
