Kodak No. 0 Brownie Model A 127 Box Camera
Excellent cosmetic condition and working
General Kodak No. 0 Brownie Model A Information
Produced between 1914 and 1916, It is constructed out of cardboard and wood, as most of that era of Brownies were. It uses 127 medium format roll film which was discontinued in 1960s.
This is a tiny camera compared to other box brownies. Probably this is helped that it uses the 127 film. It measures roughly 103mm x 65mm x 88mm. Weighs about 236 grams.
The camera has two viewfinders, one for portrait and one for landscape photographs. Unlike most modern cameras where you put your eye to them, they are looked at from a distance. There is a wind on key on the side/top, and a lever for the shutter. The shutter lever is flicked to fire it, but not returned, otherwise it fires again on the return journey. There is also a little pull out tab, which allows the camera to be shot in timed mode for longer exposures.
The lens is a 3” meniscus lens, which is a convex-concave lens. It has one outward curved face and one inward-curved face. The shutter is rotary, which is why you flick it across when you transfer the shutter lever from one side to the other. It is fixed at an aperture of f/11 with a speed of 1/60th of a second. Apart from using the long exposure pull lever, that is the only speed.
The frame number is shown on the back through a round red window displaying the printed numbers on the back of the film backing paper. The wind on mechanism is not set, so you need to keep an eye on the window to make sure you wind enough to the next number and not progress too far. It shoots 8 frames which are 4.13cm x 6.35cm (1 5/8” x 2 1/2”) in size.

Looking after your camera
Use a Camera Bag
A camera bag does more than just protect the camera against scratches and dust: It keeps it safe from rain because many are waterproof on the outside.
Be Very Careful Around the LCD Screen and Camera Lens
Use only special equipment to clean your camera’s LCD screen and camera lens. Buy a special cleaning kit that includes liquid solutions, microfiber cloths and brushes that have been specially designed to clean your camera lens.
Never Leave Your Batteries in Your Camera for Too Long
Many camera batteries are now alkaline or lithium formats. If you keep your camera with the batteries inside of it in a moist area, then the batteries can get corrosive. So if you’re thinking about just putting your camera on the shelf for several months, do yourself a favor and remove them.
Turn Your Camera Off Prior to Doing Anything
Before you do anything to your camera, always keep in mind that it should be turned off first. No matter what it is—swapping lenses, changing memory cards or disconnecting or attaching cables—your camera should be turned off.
Cold and Wet Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Camera Body
Take your camera out only in a waterproof bag. If the weather’s unusually cold, just wrap your camera in a plastic bag that has silica desiccant packets for the reduction of moisture. It’s also a smart idea to have a soft towel with you to wipe off any moisture, just in case it should get on your camera.
Good Memory Card Care Is Good Camera Care
Only transport your memory cards inside of a protective caseMake sure the memory cards stay dust-free at all times. When removing memory cards, make sure you do so indoors or in non-dusty situations.
Make sure that you keep memory cards only in cool places. Never keep them in places where they may heat up, like dashboards or glove compartments.
Never place your memory cards close to magnetic sources. Examples of magnetic sources are things such as audio speakers, TV monitors and actual magnets.
Use a Filter to Protect Your Camera Lens
The lens of your camera is naturally fragile. As such, it’s susceptible to scratches, cracks, dents…you name it. A UV filter will not only will you give your lens a fighting chance, but you’ll also enhance the quality of your pictures.
Condensation Can Be Controlled
Condensation normally happens when you move your camera between different temperatures.
Allow your camera a chance to naturally get used to the hotter environment. Don’t place it inside a closed plastic bag when transporting it between different temperatures! Just let the camera sit in the humid temperature for a while, until condensation disappears.
If this still doesn’t get rid of all of it, you can utilize a soft cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture and marks left behind from the condensation.
