Brownie No.3 Information please

Can anyone give me information on dating and operating a Brownie No.3? Also what size film might be used. We found the camera in my grandmother's house, the markings on the metal frame inside say "Kokak Brownie No. 3" with 4 patent dates, the latest 1903. Thanks.

Hi, Marie, you'd be better off dating a different kind of camera -

the Brownie No. 3's are known to be stand-offish and

uncommunicative...

Oh, wait! Not that kind of dating? Sorry.

The No. 3 Brownie was manufactured from 1908 - 1934, was listed for

$4.00, and took 124 film, which you can't get any more.

This is according to the Kodak customer service pamphlet AA-13,

"History of KODAK Cameras".

There were also a No. 3 Folding Pocket Brownie and a No. 3A Folding

Autographic Brownie, but a "Brownie No. 3" (with the number following

the name) isn't listed.

Hope this helps.
