- History Of Use
- This small, basic camera was one of a series of “Baby Brownie” cameras made by Kodak. It was made of Bakelite (an early form of hard, brittle plastic) with a flip-up frame viewfinder. The shutter was operated by the lever under the lens. It used 127 type film, and produced pictures that were 6x4 cm in size. The cameras were manufactured from 1934 to 1941 in the United States and from 1948 to 1952 in the UK.
