Lot #13: Vintage Kodak Brownie Starlet Camera c1957

First introduced in the late 1950s, here's what I learned about the Brownie Starlet Camera from Jim Grey's blog (Down the Road): The simplest of all Star cameras, the Starlet features an acrylic, single-element Dakon lens of f/8 or maybe f/11, set in a rotary shutter that fires at probably 1/50 sec. A switch at the bottom of the front plate changes the aperture between “color” (EV 13, wide open) and “B&W” (EV 14, one stop less of exposure). The prominent central viewfinder and the aluminum top plate gives this camera “that TLR look,” but it’s a viewfinder camera all the way. For flash photographs, a screw-and-pin connector on the side connects to all manner of Kodak flash units.approx. This camera would make a great addition to your camera collection! These cameras also look great styled on a bookshelf. Not guaranteed to be working. Dimensions: 3 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches x 2 1/4 inches Pickup category timeslot {A}
