My daughter in-law found this old camera in her Grandmothers home and I took a quick snap shot of it. The camera folds down to fit in a pocket and the dates on the camera are 1912-1917. With new cameras coming out I thought this was a fun look back.

I had never seen one of these before, it was fun to look through the view finder. It might still work, though no one tried it.

She let me use it when I was growing up, before I got my first camera - a Brownie Starflash. Unfortunately the bellows eventually developed a light leak.

You could get all kinds of strange speeds with that. -- *ATMFAQDIFAQKitchen Sink*

I don't think this one was ever used much, it almost looked new. The bellows showed no wear. If I remember the film for this one is either 120 or 620.

rcroning D700 Rocks Premium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB	reply to SueS Nice! I have a few of these fold down "pocket" cameras in my collection. Always nice to take a trip down memory lane....even though these were before my time. My first camera was an all plastic Diana camera for my 5th birthday. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_camera I recently managed to get a replacement for $2 at a yard sale complete with box and manual!! These can still be bought for around $50!! Ralph.
