Kodak Brownie Vintage Camera

Found this Kodak Brownie last week while out vintage camera shopping.
I jumped on it right away as It is my goal to collect as many old cameras as I can.

This model was made between 1916 - 1930's although the 1930's models were reissues.
A kind of collectors version of its time done in brown leather.
I believe that this may be a Brownie 2 Hawk-Eye Model C
Although it was not made in the UK.

This one was made in Rochester New York the home of Kodak Eastman company.
Uses 120 film and still in working condition!

I'd love to get my hands on one of those. I have a Brownie Target Six-20 from around 1946, but it would be pretty sweet to have an older Brownie.

@ngvgnDOTcom Actually, 'Medium format' was the normal thing then. The only smaller format before 1934 was 127.

I just bought an identical one for $5 at an antique store and my seal says 1880-1930 on it because its the 50th anniversary edition made in 1930. Check to see if there is a date on it if you havent found out yet, that is.

Nice Find!

I love old antique cameras!

Actually, I have one that looks exactly the same. The only difference is the rear panel of the camera says that it was made in Canada. I picked it up at a flea market for about $10 just the other day.

Do you think we both might have the same model?
