Well if they’ll send me their 1948 catalog as the ad offers, maybe I can finally afford a high end camera. Or would it likely be a model with a hand-held magnesium powder flash attachment?

Hey the $22 remote flash looks pretty good. I suppose I might have to find replacement vacuum tubes for the camera transmitter and flash receiver, though.

I wouldn't mind getting a Norwood Director meter at that price. The Sekonic successor today is almost a full $200 more. (Lovely ambient light meters, BTW - if I still used one I'd have kept mine, but I only have a flash meter now for the few occasions where I think balancing multiple flashes is important.)

Edgerton's flash, the precursor of modern speed lights, was invented in the early '30s. I had an electronic flash in the mid '50s to replace a bag full of flashbulbs. The magnesium powder was probably long gone by WWII.
