Kodak No. 2 Folding Autographic Brownie

[Nero]

The latest addition to my old camera collection,and also the oldest addition. This is the Kodak No. 2 Folding Autographic Brownie. These were manufactured from 1915-1926 which means this camera unit I have here is anywhere between 90-101 years old!

Fantastic piece of photographic history. Enjoy.

You can get a better idea of the age by looking at the dates stamped inside the back (film) cover.

Now go find some film for it. You should also keep any eye out for a stylus.

Such a beautiful find. What is the purpose of the small round lens atop the camera?

A stylus? For the camera?

Yes. It is an Autographic (evidenced by the rear cover). And the name Autographic means it originally came with a stylus.
