Is anyone here familiar with old cameras?

[mvazul]

Several years ago, I inherited three cameras. Two belonged to my great-aunt. They were left to me when she passed away, because she knew I loved photography. I don't know too much about them. I don't know when/where she bought them and can't find a date on either. Here are a few pictures:

The first is an Ansco - made in Binghamton, NY -

The second is a Brownie Bullet Camera (I'm not sure why it has the "127" engraved into it). This one was made in Rochester, NY -

This third one has very special meaning to me. It was my grandfather's. He told me he bought it in Germany during WWII. He used to always bring it out to show it to me when I was little. A few Christmases ago, he gave it to me as my gift. It was the best Christmas present I ever received. When I got it, it still had film in it. I got brave and tried to use the remainder of the film so I could have it developed. My MIL has a dark room with the equipment to process the film. Unfortunately, I think the film was too old. Not much came out.

This camera is a Kodak Junior. I think it also has a C20 imprinted on it (you can't see it in the pictures - it is getting faded) -

Anyway, would any of you have any more information on these cameras? What they may be worth, what their possible dates are, etc? I have tried to find some information and have been coming up empty.

Thank you very much! :flower3:

Thank you very much for your help! I did not see those sites when I did my search. :confused3 They were very interesting. I see my third camera is running between $20 and $100. My MIL offered me $1,000 for it. I would not have sold it for $10,000. :sad2:

Thank you, again! :flower3:
