Description:
Vintage Tammy 127 Film Camera. Made in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Takes 12 4x4cm color or black white pictures. The Camera is made of plastic and has a flimsy feel but was one of the front runners in cheap cameras. with the original box.

The Tammy 127 and near-twin Super 127 are ultra-basic snapshot cameras exposing 4×4 cm images onto (unsurprisingly) 127 film. The lens is fixed focus and a sunny not-so-sunny switch beside the lens is the only exposure control. These apparently originate from Hong Kong, and their flimsy construction has suggested some connection to the Diana cameras
