Brownie Chiquita Camera
The Brownie Chiquita, ca 1959, is a simple plastic box camera for size 127 roll film. This model is really a Brownie Bullet camera with a different name, and a Spanish rather than English front plate. The original box is also in Spanish. But curiously, the instruction book is in English, and for the Bullet camera. It does not mention the name Chiquita.
I wonder if the reason this example appears to have had no use, is because of the English language manual? Well, just wondering.
This is an attractve example of an uncommon Brownie model.
