I remember cameras like that. Way back as a little kid in the late 50s and into the 60s. All plastic, somewhat based on a theme (Girl scouts here) and used 120 roll film or something like that. Very simple, fixed f/8 and 1/60 sec. No flash. That was it. Like those cheap Instamatics of the 60s, SOMETIMES one could get a decent photo with one of these things.
If Beowulf is right in that Kodak made it, the film was probably 620. The only difference was in the holes in the ends of the spool that engaged the winding mechanism. I do not know if patents protected the 120 mechanism or Kodak did it to force customers to buy Kodak film and prevent competitors from making 620. Same thing with other sizes.
