Find: Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model

I went thrifting yesterday and got this 1949 Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model camera by Kodak. It's in its original box, with manual, flash bulbs, and flash. I had the feeling that this will not go to my store. ... and I was right! Yes! The boy asked me and his Papa if he could keep it. Unfortunately, there is no film available for this camera anymore, but he loves pretending to take photos with it.
