whats that?? if i ever decide to find film for it (not likely) what kind
should i get?? i don't want it appraised i just want to know about it. If you could help me it would be totally awesome! Thanks!!


Answer
Brownie is the name (series) of the camera. Number 2 is the model.

Film used is probably (medium format) 120.

It was mass produced and it may be worth about $20 if it's in really good shape. The reason it's so cheap is because the used camera market is flooded with these, and it's not highly sought after.
