I love the design of it, the feel of it. <br /><br />Do you know of any sites where information is given specifically saying how to recognize prints by what camera might have been used. Size of prints, etc. This Brownie always produced square shots. But I'm wondering what size shots the Brownie Starflash took.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-72842441435264927542010-03-06T10:20:24.133-11:002010-03-06T10:20:24.133-11:00Good post.

I have hundreds of the prints, I'm sure. <br /><br />I also bought the camera recently complete with flash, original box and the instruction book you have pictured. It was a fine old camera and changed overnight how we recorded our historys.anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-48610266914621127332010-03-04T05:27:57.042-11:002010-03-04T05:27:57.042-11:00My problem is I don't have the negs anymore.

Fortunately I do have all the slides my dad took, but they are often of places, not people.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-30724366089049100642010-03-04T04:44:23.610-11:002010-03-04T04:44:23.610-11:00I came across some negatives from '81 and had ...I came across some negatives from '81 and had them printed and they came out great, so maybe those older ones would too.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671965875944032395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-53397074364261496982010-03-03T18:14:46.495-11:002010-03-03T18:14:46.495-11:00I have a few shots taken with the Hawkeye on a tri...I have a few shots taken with the Hawkeye on a trip in probably '62. So many of my family photos were ruined or destroyed when a water heater burst. I have bags of photos rolled up like over fried potato chips. Then there were the stacks of photos that were stuck together with the emulsion oozing onto my hand. Those I just had to throw away. I'll never know what I lost. Of course there are no negs for any of them. Why didn't people save the negs?Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-25092903973280299352010-03-03T13:09:32.867-11:002010-03-03T13:09:32.867-11:00I have a pix of me about these kids' age stand...I have a pix of me about these kids' age standing behind my grandfather holding a brownie.
