Default Member-My post first picture post-brownie cam.

Can you believe I'm a "Member" on POTN and never posted a pic? I don't mind looking at my images at home but I cringe at posting. So here's me getting over my fear.

Anyway, here's my first posted image of our 11.5 year old son enjoying his summer and shopping at an antiques shop. The Kodak Brownie in the window caught his eye. The very nice sales man let him have it for $5. It's in great working condition. We loaded the camera with 120 film and can't wait to get them back from the lab.

Picture was taken with his Canon A510.

Ahhh the "Brownie"!! I was recently in Colorado on vacation and saw a "Brownie" in an antique stroe. It was still in the original box with flash attachment and a couple of bulbs!! I've kicked myself a dozen times for not buying it.

Richard51: I know what you mean. I saw a baby brownie in fairly good condition and should have purchased that as well. Do you remember how much that boxed, bulb brownie was going for?

Cleo199: Well, this particular Kodak Brownie, Six-20 originally took 620 film but from what we recently learned it takes 120 film so long as you re-spool onto original 620 spools-I do this in a black changing bag. 120 film is available from BH, Freestyle and other.
