Impressed by my Baby Brownie Special

I have had this little gem for a very long time and never bothered to put a film through it until now. I loaded a roll of rearapan 127 400 film in it, I used Rodinal for a 1 hour stand development. All images came out, what a surprise I got for a 1938 simple camera with a plastic lens that cost $1.25 on launch. I also have the earlier Baby Brownie.

The quality of these images is remarkable for such a simple bakelite camera. My earliest equivalent camera was a Coronet which never matched these. Where were the shots taken? Looks interesting.
 
Great stuff Flack. I don't know how you do it. All your photographs are good. If I sent you out with a matchbox with a bit of film in it and a sheep's eye stuck to a hole in the side, you would come back with a good photograph.
 
Thanks guys for all the comments, @ Alan, I try to enjoy my photography and have fun, come what may.
