Description:
The camera that started it all was a leatherette covered card box with a wooden film carrier. The original had no finder but did have V sighting lines on ...top. A clip-on accessory reflecting finder became available from August 1900. It had a detachable film winding key that I would imagine got lost often.
Variations:
The first batch of about 15, 000 had push-on box lid backs which proved unreliable. Most of this first batch was sent to Kodak Limited and examples are therefore more common in Europe.
This camera is considered by many experts to be the most important camera ever manufactured.
The first Brownie camera was shipped on Feb. 8, 1900 and gave birth to the snapshot.
Satisfacton Gauranteed!
