Could someone please enlighten me as to how I can attach large pictures as shown in previous post I can only seem to put thumbnails on or small pics. I would be most grateful, I have tried Q&A with no success. Thanks in anticipation

Quite the familial resemblance. Since there is a Minolta Riva, there is probably also a Minolta Freedom that is analogous.

Yep. The Minolta Freedom Escort is another Leica Mini clone. Also, there is a Vivitar variety as well.

Found at a second-hand shop. It was priced at $2.00, but they had a 50%-off sale that day. I could hardly contain my excitement!
Sometimes the camera gods smile upon me.

Congrats!
Once, I got a T4 and a T5 together for 20€, but yours was an even better bargain.

Hi,
You beat me to it only because I've just been out with the Freedom Escort.
I prefer the Leica and Panasonic as they have words and not symbols for the flash.

Uhhhh! Is that the one with the "optical" lens?
Is this the one with a hunk of metal in it to make it feel more substantial?

Yes it has the "optical" lens. When the aperature is adjusted the front portion of the plastic lens barrel "zooms" out (it is marked with the f/stop).
It also has a "color" viewfinder (tinted yellow). The "prism" housing is actually a WL finder. I will try to scan the box lid which is imprinted with the Kodak logo and states "Recomended Not included, Not affiliated"
There is some very fine print on the end of the box that reads:
Kodak is a trade mark of the Eastman Kodak Company.
We claim no affiliation with mentioned company.
We believe Kodak film will enhance the optimum
results of this camera. Flash and bottom cabinet of
this camera contain metal weight which increases
net weight of this camera and creates a better feel
and stability. Custom Fabricated in China.
Other features listed:
FOCUS FREE 35MM CAMERA
AUTO WIND AND REWIND
COLOR VIEW FINDER
DELUXE ELECTRONIC FLASH
FAST RECYCLING FLASH
CASE WITH SHOULDER STRAP
SELF-TIMER
RED EYE REDUCTION
