A visit to my mother's house recently resulted in her casually mentioning that she had a 'Box Brownie' camera which used to belong to my grandmother when she was 14. Today I actually got my hands on it.
Upon looking at the camera the first thing I noticed is that it has a half-used film in it! Now I have no idea if that film is going to be any good at all to get developed but I'm at least going to try. I would say it was last used around 1930's. However I don't know how to go about removing the film and I'm concerned that I will expose the film to light and destroy it. Can anyone advise on how to wind the film back and remove from the camera?
This is the camera (not the actual one but identical) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/Brownie2_overview.jpg
