If your camera could tell a story, what do you think it would be?

My Grandmother's Pocket Kodak No. 1 series II
|
The Pocket Kodak No. 1 series II was manufactured from 1922 to 1936. Since my grandmother was married in 1934, and she had this camera engaged with her maiden name, I can only assume that the camera was purchased before then. The original cost of the camera was $22.50. The film it used was A120 which produced photographs which were 6 x 9 cm (1 inch = 2.54 cm; so these pictures are approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches.)

Since Donovan died at the age of 19 on March, 8, 1927, this photograph must have been taken right before he died.
The following are various photographs taken with this camera. Interestingly, my grandmother did not use the autographic feature to write on the photographs she took.
