KODAK:  Since its beginning in 1887, Kodak has made hundreds of models of cameras. It all started because Kodak founder George Eastman worked to find ways to make photography easier and more accessible to people. Eastman began by inventing a machine to rapidly coat glass plates with photo-sensitive emulsion, but he didn't stop there. The glass plates were heavy and awkward to carry, and Eastman wanted to create something even easier. In 1884, he patented the first commercial roll film.  The Kodak company went on to introduce a variety of different film sizes and cameras to shoot them.
Introduced in 1900 the Brownie camera is perhaps the most well known of the Kodak cameras. With a sales price of only one dollar, the first Brownie cameras made photography accessible to the masses. Over the years until around the 1970s, the Brownie has been manufactured in both box and folding styles. Box cameras are simply a box, similar to a pinhole camera, but with a lens. Early models can be very valuable if they are in good condition.
