Beau Brownie camera

1928 to 1933 Kodak made several colored and deco-styled cameras that were designed to appeal specifically to the style-conscious women of the twenties. In 1928 Kodak hired Walter Dorwin Teague, a well-known American industrial designer to create cameras with a classier, more elegant look. Teague created the 1930 Beau Brownie camera with flat, geometric, enameled decoration that reflected the new taste for modern abstract pattern. The camera coordinated with other accessories such as compacts, cigarette cases, lighters and lipstick holders.
The
Beau Brownie camera was offered in five different color combinations: Maroon/Black,
Light Blue/Medium Blue, Brown/Tan, Rose/Pink, and Green/Aqua Blue.
