This is the inside of one of the cameras that I photographed in my first post. It is the one on the lower right. When it's open you can the the simple shutter mechanism that was used in the early 1900s.

This shot shows the patent and model information.
Isn't it fascinating that cameras have been around for as long as they have? What a nice collection you have.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting photo! I always thought those old cameras had a little bird in them, pecking out the photo on a stone slab....wait....that was on the Flintstones.... :-P (Now I feel like Ron...)
ReplyDeleteAnd then you took it out and processed it on your computer right?
ReplyDeleteLovely nostalgia for us all.
It's amazing how a small wooden box with a rather simple mechanism evolved into our complex cameras. Thanks for the show-and-tell!
