You will soon lose - when Kodak stops manufacturing film.

Most kids these days pay 3 dollars for an app to replicate the images you get from that!

I’ve got one of those, complete with leather case - so it is actually worth $3.

First thing I bought with my first paycheck (about 11 yrs old) was a Kodak Brownie - later I moved up to a Minolta. Think my ex-spouse pawned them all.

Retired to a terrific wild-life area - you have motivated me to buy a classic camera. If I can remember the F-stops & speeds. Have missed some golden opportunities on the wing and in the water.

thx

Boy, quality in manufacturing back then sure shows now.

I have a little Kodak kids box camera somewhere.

I have a very elderly Yashika 35mm given to me years ago by my first son-in-law, who said it had been his mother’s. I have no way to tell how old it is. The rim of the lens looks like it has been dropped a few times, and it has a complete case. Haven’t given it much thought through the years, but I know it still works. I should look it up online.

Nice catch! I found a manual for the camera in .pdf format here.

I had one very similar to that one years back. It was handed down to me from my brother when he bought a real camera (i.e. an SLR).

It wasn’t very sophisticated, but it did take decent pictures.

Looks like the camera my parents gave me when I started to show an interest in photography. They bought it 2 years before I was born and took it throughout Europe. Tried to teach my daughter basic photography using it, however since it wan't a PhD camera (Push Here Dummy), she quickly lost interest. Sad, she didn't realise the best processor for picture taking was between her ears. I still have the camera, the hand-stiched leather case, and it still take great pictures. Found a place in Texas to clean/oil this camera and the 120mm Ikon-Ziess Twin Lens Reflex that my Dad gave me just before he died.

I have two of those. One cost $5.00 ten years ago, the other was left to me by a deceased relative.

A few years ago, I got a Brownie Starflash, an exact duplicate of the one my Mom & Dad gave me for my 6th or 7th birthday. It’s still in the original box with the original Eveready batteries (white with red/blue lettering), a few flashbulbs, and a very old roll of 127 film.

Old cameras are neat!

Excellent find - that baby’s mint!

Looks to be about the same vintage as the old Argus that my dad used to use back in the 60s to photograph us kids growing up. I’ve got that one in the curio cabinet along with a couple of his other old cameras and lenses.
