I took some photos of the Brownie cameras handed down by my grandfather. I've had these sitting on display in various places I've lived for more than 30 years, and just discovered that one has a half-shot roll of film in it! So I'll have to see if I can shoot the rest and develop it -- though I have my doubts about developing 90-year-old film!

Great images...is that dust or mold around the front of the lenses,on the leather/metal work? I would hope that you could get some results from the old film.....maybe just get it developed instead of trying to use it?

Looks like you can shoot 120 with at least a couple of them... worth a try. I have a similar folding pocket brownie which produced results, though for the next try I'll need to put some tape in a couple of strategic spots to eliminate the light leaks. It is fun to shoot with a 100 year old.

I think that's just dust -- didn't try to clean them up for their debut!

Still a nice looking camera.
I`d like to know if you`d be able to do something with that 90 yo film.

Try the lenses on a DSLR. I took a few out of VPKs and had some fun with them.
