Our First Cameras
First toy camera I ever received. I got it for Christmas of my 1st grade year and I thought it was quite the marvelous treasure. I just loved the real working button and the square flash cube on top that rotated every time I "took a picture". Obviously it didn't really take pictures but that didn't matter at all to me. It operated as though it did take real pictures and I just thought that was the coolest thing ever.
The camera at the top LOOKS like a toy but it is actually a very real camera that was popular when I was born. It's the Brownie Hawheye. For the first few years of my life, the Brownie is the camera that my parents had and used. I so wish I had that camera today just for sentimental reasons.
