Hi all,

I have a really old all-black Brownie 116 film box camera, patent dates 1916. The circle of reddish plastic (celluloid?) that goes into the small round window on the back where you can see the number of the segment of film up to be exposed has disintegrated. Does anybody have a source for these?

Any stiff clear red plastic is ok as a replacement. I use report covers or the red filters from a Rosco lighting swatch booklet.
