This is a Kodak Brownie from that era, mine was a knockoff, but looked about the same. Fixed aperture, fixed focus, fixed shutter speed. it was super simple.

In 2025 a camera exactly like mine was used as a prop in a CAST Theater play. I asked to borrow it and they loaned it to me so I could photograph it.

This got me started in photography. It was pretty incapable. Monochrome only, fixed focus, fixed shutter speed and fixed aperture. I really wanted an upgrade.
