The story behind the picture # 15

Brownie

My grandmother passed away in the late 90's. I flew into Minneapolis, rented a car and drove a few hours north to help mom, dad and Uncle Dean clean up her home. Grandma loved garage and yard sales and we had a lot to go through. About the third or forth day I found this small flat box. I knew that it was an antique and had the look of a camera, but was it? I opened up the cover and it was! The lens pulled out! I was in awe knowing I held something valuable. I asked mom and Uncle Dean if I could keep it and the said yes! Wow! What a find!

I did a little research on it and here is what I found: This is a Kodak No. 2A Autographic Brownie camera produced between 1917 and 1926.

I took this picture and realized it looked great in plain black and white (even though I love vivid colors). I wonder what images it has captured...
