The Baby Brownie Special is a small, basic camera made of Bakelite with a flip-up frame viewfinder. The shutter is operated by the lever under the lens. The Special was a replacement for the original Baby Brownie, with an optical viewfinder and better shutter release, and was manufactured from 1938 to 1954. It takes 6 x 4 cm images on 127 film, using a simple meniscus lens and rotary shutter.
