WHEN I WAS ABOUT 8 OR 9 MY GRANDFATHER CALLED ME INTO HIS OFFICE AND HANDED ME A BOX BROWNIE CAMERA.
Below is a article taken from Wikipedia about the camera, I do still have hundreds of photos that I think were taken on the camera.
At least I think they were taken on the Brownie as they are quite small and not like any of the other photos in my collection.
( Wikipedia )Brownie is the name of a long-running and extremely popular series of simple and inexpensive cameras made by Eastman Kodak. The
Brownie popularized low-cost photography and introduced the concept of the snapshot. The first Brownie, introduced in February,
1900,[1] was a very basic cardboard box camera with a simple meniscus lens that took 2¼-inch square pictures on 117 rollfilm. 
With its simple controls and initial price of $1, it was intended to be a camera that anyone could afford and use, leading to
the popular slogan, “You push the button, we do the rest.” The camera was named after the popular cartoons created by Palmer Cox.
One of the most popular Brownie models was the Brownie 127, millions of which were sold between 1952 and 1967. The Brownie 127
was a simple bakelite camera for 127 film which featured a simple meniscus 
lens and a curved film plane to reduce the impact of
deficiencies in the lens.
Having written an article in the 1940s for amateur photographers suggesting an expensive camera was unnecessary for quality
photography, the famous Picture Post photographer Bert Hardy used a Brownie camera to stage a carefully posed snapshot of two
young women sitting on railings above a breezy Blackpool promenade.
modern world.
The Beau Brownie range was available from 1930 to 1933.They differed very little from the ever-popular Brownie cameras, the only technical difference being the introduction of a new
doublet lens, allowing the same picture to be projected on a film plate over a shorter distance, making the Beau Brownies
nearly 2″ shorter than their conventional counterparts.
Visually, they had a different enameled two-tone front plate in a heavily geometric and contemporary Art Deco design, the work
of leading American Deco designer, Walter Dorwin Teague.
They were available in five colour combinations: black and burgundy, brown and tan, two-tone blue, two-tone green, and two-tone
rose. The rose and green cameras were produced only in1930 and 1931, and are therefore
rarer than the others. They were encased
in a faux-leatherette casing.There were two formats, the $4 No.2 and $5 2A, just like the Brownies, the No.2 measuring 2 ¼” by 3 ¼” and using 120 roll film,
