Chapter 11 - Taiyodo Koki Beautycord TLRs
"TKK" Beautycord advertisement - click for translation
"TKK" Beautycord and box (below)
Beautycord S (right), box & instruction manual above.
The Barry Toogood Beautycord (above middle) is stated to be the parent of the Fodor A & B (A left), and repeated at Collectorblend, etc. I don't agree. Look at the strap hanger: it's completely different to Taiyodo Koki models and like that used on Tougodo Optical Co TLRs - see Tougodo Optical Co (Japanese) TLRs.
Late (TKK) Beautycord without the T.K.K.
An advertisement (left) in the 21st of March 1960 issue of the "Jornal do Brazil" newspaper identified the camera as the Beautycord model II (above).
