I see, are you sure it is a brownie camera? And not the No. 5 Eastman Series D? I believe this was also the listed price for one when it was new, hence way back in 1910 ish... so wouldn't it be worth much more now?

I also believe the difference is that mine is not automatic, and this one on ebay is an 'automatic'.

Hmm, its not quite as advanced as that one. Mine does not have little metal stand legs, or that little metal bit that extends the lens out. The shape and cover of the camera are nearly the same though!

Wow! I was looking at this and realized it reminds me of one of my own pieces of furniture... Despite the missing back piece which sticks up a bit, it looks very similar with the drawer and cabinets.
Sorry for the horrible lighting... it doesn't actually have a yellow top. It had a lamp behind it and I couldn't exactly move the lamp

Antique Questions Forum / Mystery India Coin?
« on: July 25, 2013, 06:55:13 pm »
This coin was found among some other current coins in an old box we had. I'm not sure whether it is a token of some sort, or currency. Taking one look at the coin made me think "Taj mahal" but after looking up the Taj Mahal it looks nothing like it. Any help identifying, valuing, or giving possible history of this coin would be much appreciated. Thanks!

And hello, AGAIN! I have yet another antique valuing request for an even older camera than the one I previously posted about. This camera was patented on Jan 18 1910, and I believe it was made sometime around then.
The back (I think...) of the camera:
The Front of the camera with the cover still on:
The front of the camera without the cover on:
The inside of camera's front cover (for those of you who find the text difficult to read, it says: NOJA FOLDING POCKET KODAK R.R. Lens Type, Model D, Manufactured by Eastman Kodak CO, Rochester NY, Made in USA, US patents: Sep 20 1898, Sep 18 1906, Jan 21 1902, Sep 7 1909, Apr 29 1902, Jan 18 1910, Octo 19 1909, Other patents pending.
The camera when it is extended:
Camera Lens 1:
Camera Lens 2 (same lens, different view):

Antique Questions Forum / Old camera value?
« on: July 25, 2013, 06:23:11 pm »
Hello again! I've got quite a bit of old stuff for you all to help me with! This is an old camera we found in the basement. I'm not sure of its year, but it is made almost entirely of paperboard material and still has an old piece of film in it. Its apparently a Tower camera, and it has a place for a flashbulb. Any help in identifying the year and value of this golden oldie would be much appreciated! Please excuse my poor photography, I'm not up to taking brilliantly positioned pictures or something today! haha!

Antique Questions Forum / History/value of coin
« on: July 25, 2013, 06:12:02 pm »
This coin I found in a box of old shtuff we were going through today. It appears to be pure silver, but I've never seen any coin like it before... its like a silver dollar of some sort, with someones head on the back. It is dated from 1979, minted in Denver CO, and it has the letters FG next to the head on the bottom right. The head is in some sort of undecagon shape. On the eagle side, it of course has the classic American eagle and the olive branch, but in the background there is the earth on the top left, and the moon in the background. Could this be some sort of moon-landing celebratory coin? What is it worth?
