This was a 35mm toy camera given out free with subscriptions of Time Magazine. Unlike other toy cameras, however, the lens is actually of reasonable quality and made of glass, and the pictures it takes are fairly sharp. Identical models were made and given out with Sports Illustrated, as well as sold cheaply. There is a standard hot shoe on the top of the camera, and several other features not usually found on toy cameras, such as a coupled frame counter.
Another badging variant of the same camera, image by Arty Smokes.
