I have all the old family pictures, many of which were taken with that camera. The first photos I ever took myself were taken with it. I don't know what happened to it, except that it was not among my parents' belongings when they passed. They got rid of a lot of stuff when they moved from Illinois to Georgia in 1979, to retire in warmer weather and closer to my mom's siblings. If they still had the Brownie camera by then, I'm pretty sure it didn't make the trip.
