Kodak Motormatic 35
Found this one at a thrift store and had to put a roll of film through it. I published some of the test photos and a write up with some history and details about the Motormatic.

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943
These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs and captions are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color.
