I also had one of those old Brownie box cameras. I took it to summer camp when I was 8, 9, and 10 years old. I am pretty sure I still have it.

Do you have memory of sounds when you don’t have images?

If you find the camera I’d love to see it. I’ve looked online but haven’t found the one I had, and Kodak made quite a few variations of the Brownie.

Sounds escape. I couldn’t recreate the pitch of car horn, and yet I would recognize certain cars if I heard one honk. Music however, I remember easily, tunes especially. But I don’t really hear them as played, I hum them to myself.
