Obsolete
I started collecting older cameras at one time, but this is the extent of my collection, apart from all the cameras I have personally used over the years. The one on the bottom left was my grandfather’s. I found it years ago in my grandma's pantry, a pantry in an old house was a room within itself, it was a treasure trove of many wonderful finds, that and the attic, which again, was like another room in the house, you could walk through it without even ducking.
I suppose you could still use the Kodak camera if you want to try and find some flash bulb cubes. They do still sell them on secondary markets, and I even found them on Amazon. Of course, you pay a premium and hopefully they still work.
You could even say Felix the Cat is obsolete. This type of toy certainly is. If I asked my thirty-something year old daughter and son-in-law if they knew Felix the cat, I'm pretty certain the answer would be no. Felix was second to Betty Boop for me, I loved Felix, but Betty is the Bomb!
