@atomicpuppet Have you been able to open your Target Six-16 yet? I have several in my collection :) I collect old cameras too.

@janepeepshow Actually yes I did figure out how to get it open, someone who commented earlier told me how. I was hoping there would be a roll of film in there but there wasn't.

Regarding the hole in the Brownie No. 2A, I'm not sure if it's actually a tripod mount, and I don't believe the manual mentions anything. However my 2A came with a very thin washer and a small bolt that went into the side.

@androo7673 You have a really good point there, perhaps it isn't for a tripod...hmmm..

I wonder what that bolt is for...

I bought a box brownie no2 model f made in toronto i saw 1 on ebay they wanted £75 for it an i only payed £6 so i think im onto a winner. the other thing i saw your second camera was very similar but it had more writing on the inside of the back plate, also my landscape mirror and glass was missing is yours to. any info gratefully received cheers.

actually, the flash model hawkeye came out around 1951, but the original came in 1949.

@atomicpuppet YAY! Or you could've gone online? Hehe. Actually this dude has like all these manuals online in PDF format, look up Butkus. Boo, no roll. Ohhh I just recently got an Ansco Flash Clipper, Google that & visit the first website, someone else found a film inside their camera :D
