That looks like a Kodak Brownie card board camera. They aren't worth that much. I have a Brownie No 2 116 film camera in much better shape than that I'd sell you for $20? It's working. It's just missing the little red plastic on the back. |

Hi since posting this picture I have restored the box camera and to my surprise found that the original camera had been recovered maybe to sell it by using colour covering.
refer the photos  |

It's very nice looking, and it looks as if it would actually take a picture. Does the shutter work? |

If the shutter on a box camera works, it should take a picture - light leaks allowing. It's that simple. Or rather they are that simple!
What may not be simple is finding film - it looks like a square format. Oh - hang on - you do say 120 in the first post. Shouldn't be a problem, then - go shoot a roll! I'm guessing shutter speed will probably be about 1/30th of a second, but have no idea what the weather is like in Oz at the moment so not sure what speed film to suggest. 100 will be easiest to find, I suspect.
I still have that dead Hawkette if you fancy a challenge... Not sure what postage would be, though.
