I picked up this 1960's toy camera today after work at an antique store. It's an Imperial Debonair. It's a Bakelite boxlike camera body. It has a plastic lens, not entirely unlike a Holga, though you can't focus with it.

It takes 620 film so I had to re-spool 120 onto a 620 spool, but it was pretty easy and only took maybe 5 minutes.

It scratches the film vertically as you wind which is a "feature". This isn't too noticeable on TMAX, but on a softer emulsion it will rip it up a bit, but kinda in a cool way.
