The original baby Brownie came out in 1934 and was made of a plastic type of material called Bakelite. Believe the Kodak Box Brownie [my parents had one, I think my brother now owns it] was first marketed in the 1888's. Their camera was a 1920 vintage model. Roll size 120. In those years my dad use to develop his own film. I still have a couple of his developing trays which BTW are made of Bakelite. That stuff would crack if dropped on a hard surface.[/size][/#008000][/font]
