The model 100 was one of Kodak's first Instamatic camera released in the USA.
It used the 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 changes the shutter to 1/40th of a second whether there is a flash in the holder or not.
