It all started here with a camera just like this. This Kodak Brownie was exactly like my very first camera. Oh the fun I had with that camera. I saw this one sitting on a display at the Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale. It sure brought back memories for me.

I am always just one step away from starting a camera collection.
What a classic!
I've never seen such a camera, beautiful !
I started with a Brownie Vecta http://www.brownie-camera.com/49.shtml
Back in the 1950s almost every American family had a Brownie camera. I looked at its history quickly on line and I didn't know that it was first introduced in 1900 at a price of $1! It certainly became a staple in most households!
I am desperately trying to find my first one: a Comet...
My first camera was a Magimatic. It was terrible!
The way you photographed it makes it look more modern than it actually is. Who knew camera would advance this far?!
I had one too.
Now, after the Brownies, please give the Blue Birds and the Girl Scouts equal time.
hehehehehehe Sorry.
A real blast from the past, Sharon!
I have one of those. Not sure where it came from. Maybe it's yours.
Ah the good old days!
I remember these from my youth, but don't think I ever had one. There must have been zillions made. My first camera was a Kodak Retinette that I bought at the Navy Exchange at the Navy base in Morocco (1957). Got lots of good use from that one.
My mother had one of them.
Be fun to play around with one now
Understood. I probably have one of those around the house.
Memories like this one are good.
It definitely rings a bell! :-)
Yup! Looks familiar Sharon, they look so cute, but how fast have we've become used to digital :)
