My grandparents’ house is in the process of being cleared out and I had been given this camera that was found. It’s a Kodak Brownie 127 (third series) from 1965-1967 and I hope to be able to shoot on it. I’ve managed to do plenty of research and find information on it but there’s one thing I can’t find and that’s what this is above the red window.
The red window helps prevent overexposure on the film. I can only find one picture of this thing and that’s from an eBay seller who also has this crumbling thing on it and they do not mention what it is.
My theory was is it crumbling Velcro but I don’t know why it would be if it is going to rub against film?
I’m hoping I can find out what this thing is so I could replace it if it is necessary
By the way, this is the camera:
I’m not sure if anyone here has a clue but I thought I’d try asking in case
