Description:
A special version of the Brownie Bullet II which was a continuation of the Brownie Starlet camera but without flash contacts.

Fun Facts:
Though not an official "Brownie" camera, I think it's important to list it here. The Kodak Rio-400 was made in Brazil in 1965 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Rio de Janeiro with all information and labels on the camera in Portuguese. The Kodak Rio-400 seems to be an exact copy of the Brownie Bullet II, a simple plastic point-and-shoot camera which itself is copied from the Brownie Starlet, but without the flash contacts.
