Brownie Camera
I have an old brownie camera and I can't figure out how to open it. Can anyone advise me about it?
I have an old brownie camera that came from my Grandmother. Is there a way to open it to see if it has any film in it? If there is, is there a way to get it developed? I think it is a Brownie Sixteen or something like that. Any advice concerning this thing would be great.
The brownies typically have a little red colored window, about a half inch in diameter, in the back. If you can see any printing in the window, or anything other than a dark void behind the window, the roll of film isn't finished. If that's the case Turn the winding knob to wind it up. if you thinks there's any pictures left after advancing the film, you might try taking a few.
If there is film in there, don't be surprised if the pictures turn out poorly if at all. Film deteriorates over the years. Also, if color film was used, the modern color film processing chemicals may not be compatible with the older color film - several changes were made in the process over the years.
If you don't know how to remove the film, or don't feel comfortable doing it, take it to a professional camera shop. It's easy if you've seen it once, but impossible to describe by text.
