The Kodak Brownie camera uses a Meniscus lens and 116 film, with a rotary shutter to produce black and white photographs that measured 2.5" x 4.25" in size. While the cameras were manufactured as early as April 1907, this specific camera features a metal nameplate on the back, dating it to as early as January 1918. The model "B" camera was discontinued in April 1924, and the model "C" took its place.

Camera History Project

This website is the culmination of years of antiquing. My wife and I enjoyed travelling around the United States, stopping at various antique shops and finding different cameras. Since 2012, we have collected hundreds of cameras, and there are some that we have, but that have not made it online yet. When the real world slows down, we plan to resume our hobby! Feel free to check out our online collection, and using the comment system, let us know which you've had and which is your favorite!
