Old camera I

Rather than fail again to post a picture for the day, I thought I'd take something indoors, and this old camera, that used to belong to my maternal grandfather, seemed a good subject. It is a Box Brownie No 2 - the camera that first used 120 film and dating back to the 1920s. I have managed to take some pictures with it - not great, but at least recognisable images! Keep meaning to take it out again, maybe even to do a recreation of Bert Hardy's famous shot of two girls on a seaside promenade.
One of several old cameras there are up on the shelf, so probably the first of a mini series.
