Over a long time ago, oh yeah.
Great read, l like the detailed run through the workings of the Brownie!
Thank you, Paul. I have a couple of Brownie Box cameras from this same era, but I would never try to dismantle one. This one came with the front plate loose, so I was not (technically) abusing one to see the insides.
Even broken vintage cameras can serve a purpose, in this case educational😁
Now yer makin' me wish I'da kept all those old pieces of junk that collected in Dad's darkroom. They all went to a landfill decades ago.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Alas.
So interesting to see the long road to the cameras we have today. And modern cameras don't have spiders!
It was just a little spider.
That was a fun journey to go through! Some of these are actually works of art themselves.
I bet, with care, this old beauty could still produce good results🙂
I’m sure it could, but we couldn’t sell it.
Well... seeing as you get to keep it, um, might we see something from it on here at some point? I, for one would love to see the end result🤓
As would I, but I have a dozen cameras standing in the queue ahead it it, so it will be awhile.
