Greetings from England. I am looking for help identifying the following. It came into my possession as a result of a rejected item from a used camera shop, instead of accepting a refund I walked away with the following. There lays the problem, I wondered if the item is fake. It is a wooden box with the words IL Brownie across and a picture of a character holding a camera. Brownie I presume. Inside the box are a number of items as follows. Brownie camera, on opening back it states. NO 1 Brownie camera Model B. Camera appears complete with wind on lever etc. It is in a soft Brown? Cloth case with strap and chrome Kodak Clasp. Also present is a card box with No 2 Brownie Developing box on front. There is a Developing box inside this contains a couple of wooden rollers and a cork etc. Three small Black trays. 6 card Print holders? . Wooden and Glass contact sheet holder?. Engraved Kodak on Rear. The next item appears to be a roll of film all I can say it is wound around a Brass cartridge with wooden insert �Kodak Top � � patent applied for � Black Backing paper states 117 6 (I am guessing size and no images) The next is difficult to read *? BROW NI*?. If it is film it is tightly wound on, and I have left it intact.
A small glass cylinder etched /engraved KODAK. Three small sachets of chemicals. Kodak-Metol-Quinol /? Kodak Limited London. Curve Kodak 9CM Kodak S.A.F Paris Paris. Kodak Developer Power etc. And the last items are all in Italian Formulario Kodak ( Kodak Societa Anonima ) Milano Istruzione per sviluppare le pellicole nella scatola da sviluppo Brownie ( Kodak Societa Anonima ) Milano This would appear to be for developing box . And finally a 4.4 inch Istruzioni Leaflet for camera. The dealer described it as a Billy Bunter Kodak outfit. This particular dealership has been in Business since 1950S and states that the whole outfit is genuine and as originally sold. I took the entire lot to a very well established collectors shop that stated they had never seen the Wooden Box etc before. (The camera and other items are of course known) Apologies if this is a frequent subject, I can of course email photos to anyone. You can of course email me exacta@totalise.co.uk
