Mine took 100 round pictures on a roll. No, wait, that was grandpa's. My first camera took 8 rectangular pictures on a roll and folded up to fit in my back pocket. Yes, that sounds correct. My mother had one just like it that she got as a high school graduation present in 1935 or so, but she would not let me touch it. Mine was given to me by a lady up the street whose lawn I mowed for a buck after school from about the 4th or 5th grade. It was certainly older than I was by 8-10 years. But it was a real camera with 3 or 4 f-stops and 3 shutter speeds. Not like those plastic ones the other kids had that only had one f-stop and one shutter speed. It was made by a now little known company called Kodak. Took 620 Varichrome film, no not not Varichrome Pan, Varichrome!
