Hello! I just acquirered a Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model B. There are three patent dates stamped on the indside of the camera. Jan. 12, 1897, Apr. 11, 1899 and Sep. 7, 1909. Why were so many dates stamped on the old brownies? |

One patent for each invention. All three inventions in the same camera. |

I think listing patent dates was very common, maybe even required during that time. |

Thanks for the replies. It was a bit surprising to see so many dates on the inside! |
