No. 1 Brownie (1901)

This is the successor of the famous and important Brownie camera of 1900. It was intended for children, very easy to use and quite affordable with its price tag of $ 1. It took photos of 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch (6 x 6 cm).

The original Brownie of February 1900 has a shoe lid type back. This was not very strong and the model was replaced by the Brownie of March 1900, which has a hinged back door. With the introduction of the No. 2 Brownie in October 1901 the Brownie was renamed No. 1 Brownie. Of the No. 1 Brownie about 522,000 were made until it was discontinued in 1916.
