VTT - Brownie fun
It is always fun to participate in Vintage Thingie Thursday. With our move, I have not had a lot of time to really show some of my fun finds. But today I thought I would share these cameras that my daughter has collected.
I know she has several more, but these were the only two that I had captured recently.

Great post. My Granny had the Brownie Hawkeye. My daughter has it now :)
ReplyDeleteThat is an expensive collection, but a good one as well. I recall seeing the Brownie in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one because it is a box camera that actually looks like a box and it has a nice design on it too.
ReplyDeleteThose are very cool - I think I had one like the first one!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a photographer and collects camera's. She has the brownie that belonged to her Great Grandmother. Thanks for sharing, Sherry
ReplyDeleteI recently sold a Brownie to a young college girl and she was so excited! How nice to see that there are others who are into cameras as well ...
ReplyDeleteI had a olden Brownie camera that I would give my eye teeth to have now. Where did it go, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these with us today.
What fun memories. I well remember the old Brownie cameras.
ReplyDeleteI love vintage cameras~ they have such a great graphic quality about them and display so nicely!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Brownie cameras...I especially like the first plain box one!
ReplyDeleteI agree, wonderful cameras. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful, I had one just like those two. I remember you had to attach a flash bulb holder to have a flash on the brownie. Then there came Polaroid, those pictures do not last long. What great memories your post brings back. I was about 15 when I got that second brownie. Been shooting ever since.

Those are so much fun! Thank you so much for sharing some of your daughter's wonderful collection with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT,
Sally
Great cameras.....these are a far cry from the fancy ones today....but these have such character! Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteI can remember when the ONLY camera our family OWNED was a black box camera and we NEVER ONCE thought it'd ever be a valuable vintage item!
ReplyDeleteFunny how that works - - -
Such charm! Love those old cameras. Do they still work? Can you still buy film for them?
ReplyDeleteOh those cameras are amazing! True Vintage Eye Candy!
ReplyDeleteThose are very nice. It just jolted my memory of my dad using one similar to those when I was very young. Oh, gosh. I'm getting old!
ReplyDeleteGreat cameras. My dad used to have a Brownie. I wish I still had it.
ReplyDeleteMy dad had photography in his blood from an early age, but he did not keep those cameras - he just wasn't much of a collector. These are real gems. Great post - it makes me wonder just what he was using back then.
ReplyDeleteWhat neat cameras!!
