My Cameras - No1 of an Occasional Series

It was a 'nothing' kind of day - dull and windy and I didn't reckon on anything interesting outdoors so decided to start on my cameras. These two I inherited (I'm not old enough to have been using these antiques - but sadly I no longer have my first camera, the once ubiquitous Brownie 127)

These are both from Kodak. The small one has a number of Patent dates on it, the most recent (USA) being 1918 so I reckon it dates from the 1920s. It says you should use 'Autographic film No.A-127'. The other is newer, perhaps 1940s and is more sophisticated. It has shutter speeds and f-numbers and appears to recommend the use of 1/25th sec at f-11. It used 620 roll film
