I've found in Larchmont,
New York, this near perfect Brownie Camera
This model is a scaled dogn of the Brownie 2E. Instead of
using 120 film, it uses 127 film.
127 format film is complicated to source but is still available in this
web page http://www.fotoimpex.de/Filme/efke/efke.html
Same camera, different size
The model 0 is made in Rochester, Newyork and the model 2E is made in Canada
This camera was built from 1917 y 1928. there is no date on
the camera but some anotations about the patents it helds.
Back lid of the camera.
There was an exposed photo film on the camera. It will be processed
soon.
The viewfinders and the lenses were very foggy.
Filthy viewfinder lenses
The mirrors are corroded. I have to change them.
The mirrors are less that 2 mm thick. A good source for this thin mirrors is the mirror on the lid of a makeup compact
Mirrors from a parrot toy (don't ask!)
Replacement mirror cut dowt to size
The two mirrors replaced.
The long exposure lever was loose because the piece of wood that hold
it in place was unglued. I made a mistake strighteng the lever. It has
to be bent as shown or would not work.

I repolished the chromes and sligtly oiled the whole camera with WD40. This adds color deepness to the black leatherette
The result.
