First camera

Came across this in a box today. My dad gave this to me when I was 15. I took the photo of my dad that same day. I’m so happy that I found it as I thought it had been accidentally thrown away.

Is it a Brownie box camera….I had one of those too! I can remember using it to this day!

Does it still work -I dare you to try.
My first one was the plastic Brownie 127

I had a Box Brownie that I 'inherited' from my grandfather. Great memory photo.

I had one that my dad gave me as well. Unlike you, I have no surviving photos from it, but it got me started on my love of photography. Thanks Dad.

What a treasure, Lesley! And it's so touching to see the photo of your dad as well. A big fav for this!

[Margaret Brown]

Brilliant, we had one very similar did it take 116 film in an 8 o16 photo size??I loved ours and used it often, I remember loading and unloading in the darkest place possible so the negatives were not ruined!

[Brian Moody]

Great shot on both accounts. Glad you found it, I wonder if it still works.

[Annie-Sue]
