NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!

Hello, Amber,

Here's the information on the first Brownie, which you could have

found the same place I did, right on the Brownie Camera Home Page:

<p>

Brownie (The)

Type: Box rollfilm

Introduced: Feb 1900

Discontinued: Oct 1901

Film size: 117

Picture size: 2 1/4 X 2 1/4"

Manufactured: US

Lens: Meniscus

Shutter: Rotary

Numbers made: 245,000

Original price: $1.00

<p>

Description:

Card box with wood film carrier; no finder but V sighting lines on

top with a clip-on accessory reflecting finder available from

July 1900; detachable film winding key. This camera introduced the 2

1/4" square format.

<p>

Variations:

The first batch of about 15,000 had push-on box lid backs which

proved unreliable. Most of this first batch was sent to Kodak

Limited and examples are therefore more common in Europe.

Mar 1900: Bottom hindged back with sliding latch on top.

Approximate worth: $700-1000

You can see a picture of it at http://www.nwmangum.com/K/ and at

http://www.toptown.com/nowhere/kypfer/f_index.htm - both sites call

it the No. 1 Brownie. They also will give a little more information.

Hope this helps!
