Wayne,
My parents also had a Kodak Instamatic. I remember the four sided flash
cube though I don't recall the model number of the camera. There are a
number of 104s available on eB*y at the moment... some of them with the
original boxes.

My very first camera was a Ciro-flex TLR. They also show up on eB*y
from time to time. My first darkroom experiences came from making
contact prints of the 2-1/4 negatives on Kodak Velox paper with a
homemade contact printer.
