Default (Alleged) Pearl Harbor photos from a 68 year old Brownie

Isn't it amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?

Fantastic photos taken 68 years ago. Some of you will have to go to a museum to see what a Brownie camera looked like?
Here is a simple picture of what we are talking about. . .

Edit: okay, not from a Brownie. Still cool to look at and remember tomorrow

Hoax.The photos are real. But they don't come from the same person or a long lost Brownie.


Interesting shots though.

Damn. Would have been neat if it was true.

I actually own a Brownie. No film for it though.

Outstanding photos. Here I thought a Brownie camera was one used by Brownine Scouts when they sold GirlsScout cookies. LOL

Um, I didn't think I was so old, but that Brownie on the left looks identical to my first camera as a kid.
