The Kodak Brownie negative is nowhere to be found, so this enhanced scan of the original print will have to do. Before Santa was kind enough to bring a gift-wrapped Kodak Instamatic 104 kit in December 1966, I used to shoot film occasionally with my grandfather's Brownie camera from the '50s.
As I recall, it took 127 size Kodak Verichrome Pan roll film.
Film was expensive, so as a kid I always tried to get the most out of each roll even if that meant attempting just one more shot after the numbers stopped showing in the little red window in back of the camera. Sometimes it worked and other times, not so well.
I still remember the "oops factor" when the developed roll of 120 film came back from the Milford Camera store and I saw this photo for the first time. As a side note, this has been painstakingly Photoshopped to remove dozens of scratches and other imperfections. The original large format negative was in pretty dire condition!
