my girlfriend picked this up for me at a antique store, and since there are no markings on it i'm hoping somewhere here can help me identify it.

does it say anything inside???
Does it take 620?
I would say it is a old kodak brownie

Actually the challenge is to find 620 spools- I am assuming its 620 given the vintage. If you have 620 film spools you can load 120 film onto them. Just make sure you keep the spools when you get it developed- 620 spools are getting hard to come by.

ETA: Maybe not so hard: Ebay

Shouldn't be too hard; it uses 120 roll film and they still make that. Hasselblads, Mamiyas and the like still use it.

ETA: Ah yeah, good point; gotta have the 620 spools. But if you're lucky there will be a couple in the camera...

I'm surprised they still made cameras like that in the 1930s. I've used one that was made in 1917 that doesn't look much different from the one featured here.
