I think back to taking pictures with my Brownie, Second Model and then taking the spool of film to the drugstore and then waiting a week to see if my photos were any good. Usually they were terrible. Now, via my phone, I get instant feedback that my photos are lousy. This is progress? 🙂
Hard to believe that the Brownie’s been around in one form or another for 118 years! There’s a wonderful website about that camera with some old ads (1900-1963) and other stuff that you might enjoy, Kerbey. Take a look at https://www.brownie-camera.com
My mom has told me of the Brownie she had in the 60s but I didn’t know Brownies were Scottish goblins till I read your link. If you had to hold it at waist level, like it says, it seems that it would be harder to use as your eyes aged post 40.
I Don't Get It 
I remember the first Polaroid cameras. I thought at the time they were the epitome of tech. Boy I was wrong.

Yes they were, and the folks at Polaroid did their best to keep up with changing times. They made a bunch of new models.
