Of Years Gone By

Over the years have accumulated this small collection of old  cameras  and someday will be handed down to my children and grandchildren.

The Argus seventy-five, with the flash reflector,  was my first camera back in the early fifties.

The Kodak junior six-16, bellows, was my parents camera dating back to the middle thirties.

Thanks for looking!

    I would love to see a set with each camera.  There are some oldies in there.  Really neat shot/collection

    I had a Kodak Brownie that looked identical to the Argus you've got here.  My Dad gave it to me when I was about seven (1969 or 70, I think).  It was my first camera and it was his first camera.  I did some research on it later and discovered that it was the Brownie model manufactured in 1948-49, which would have been about right, since my Dad was born in '37. I used it for a few years and I can't remember what happened to it.  Wish I still had it....
