Another week, another camera, another Ebay find, another Kodak. I've been wanting a straight up box camera for a while and was able to find this one for $5.50. Yes, there are more exotic, more colorful boxes out there, but this one is original--the "Model-T" of cameras that made photography affordable to the masses. It retailed for $1 in 1900.Now that I have basic Brownie, the standard bearer box camera, I'll be on the lookout for some of the more unique and harder to find front designs and body colors.
That's a mighty good looking example for only $5.50. These date to just after WW II; hard to believe there was still a market for box cameras then.
