Description:

This well made Brownie featured an imitation pigskin covered metal body with two brilliant view-finders. This camera has a very useful built-in sliding portrait lens for close-ups and a yellow filter for use with black and white film. It has a 2-pin flash contact for flash pictures, tripod sockets for horizintal and vertical use, and a shutter safety catch that helps eliminate double exposures. This camera also features a cable release socket which is uncommon on Brownie cameras.

 

Variations:

The first production of this camera, from 1947 until 1953, had a vertically striped front front, a metal winding knob, and a metal shutter release release button.

From 1953-57 the camera changed to a horizontally striped design faceplate, plastic winding knob, and a plastic shutter release button.
