A few nice online image editor images I found:
Exakta & Flash, Nov 1950 PopPho pg 126
Image by camerawiki
From Popular Photography magazine, November 1950 (Vol. 27, No. 5), page 126.
Another ad early in the official distribution of Exakta camera to the US market. Note that the address, 46 West 29th St., New York, is adjacent to Camera Specialty Co., Max Wirgin's other enterprise.

This page has been scanned as an information reference for Camera-wiki.org, the non-commercial online encyclopedia of cameras, photography, and their history.
This ad is unusual in carrying the notice "Copyright 1950, Exakta Camera Company Inc." Originally under US law, this copyright would have expired 28 years later; however later changes in US law extended this protection. In theory, copyright still applies to this image, although it would be difficult to determine who actually owns the rights today.
A fair use argument may justify republication of this image, but the editors of camera-wiki strongly discourage this.
US Exakta Import, June 1950 PopPho pg. 141

From Popular Photography magazine, June 1950 (Vol. 26, No. 6), page 141.
The first sentence "since its arrival last month…" marks this as the starting point for official Exakta camera distribution in the US. Note that the address, 46 West 29th St., New York, is adjacent to Camera Specialty Co., Max Wirgin's other enterprise.
