The Baby Brownie is a small, basic camera (art decó style), made of Bakelite with a flip-up frame viewfinder. The shutter is operated by the lever under the lens. Cameras made for export have a "brief/time" button, above the lens. Both of these cameras were made in the USA. The cameras were manufactured from 1934 to 1941 in the USA and from 1948 to 1952 in the UK.
