Kodak Ltd. London, England 1946-1957
Hardly used at all, this old Kodak has been around for about a very long time years and looks new. Cameras are often given as gifts. Often, I think, the recipients either are disinterested in taking pictures or are intimidated by the prospect. In either case, the cameras don’t get used much. This may account for the many mint old cameras that were still available at the time of this writing. The Brownie 620D is an all-metal camera. This one came from North Dakota. From England to North Dakota to Massachusetts to wherever you are..
You’re just a long lost photograph that waited to be born.
Someone once cared for you, someone that’s long gone.

A Ford Falcon and lots of open space
Lesson from Film Photography 101:

In this case, one picture in landscape, the other in portrait orientation. A house some bushes and a fence. See ?
