I couldn't see a Category for 'Cuteness' anywhere, so this gallery will have to do.
When it comes to the History of Film, and Kodak, and 'you press the button, we'll
do the rest", the Kodak Baby Brownie models can stand tall.
Here are two models. The one in rear is a version of the Baby Brownie, and by the
lack of a 'B' shutter, I'm guessing this bakelite beauty is a camera from 1934~1941.
The 'deluxe' model in front is the Baby Brownie Special - a beauty with a viewfinder
instead of a folding 'peep sight', and some other deluxe features like the ergonomic
side-mounted shutter button. The Special was produced from ~1939-1954. Oh, and
the plaited leather carry strap doubles as security for the self tightening catch to keep the back
attached securely. Cool. Of course, they both use 127 film - I think that equates to maybe
30 megapixels or so when scanned at 360dpi. ;-)
And did I mention ... the Baby Brownie retailed for 99 cents in the US. If you wanted
the Baby Brownie Special, it was way up there ... at $1.25.
