About 1912 to maybe 1918 based on her dress. She looks like her hair is bobbed which would have been starting to happen then. Could be later if she was wearing clothes from a few years back. Can anybody identify the model/year of the box camera?

I have a copy of this photo as this was my mother-in-law!! There is no date on my copy, but I am guessing that it was taken in late 1915 or early 1916, as she was married in the fall of 1915 in Nebraska.

This looks like an old Kodak "pocket" camera, a camera with an accordion bellows that extended but also could be collapsed and then shut tight with a latch. The camera in questions was marketed to consumers, but slightly pre-dates the Brownie camera, which truly popularized personal photography. If this is hypothesis is true, the time period would have been shortly before WWI. I have 2 similar cameras, and perhaps the most interesting/trivial thing about them is that they are bound in leather, and that the leather ages in a peculiar way, almost like a patina.

That's a Brownie camera isn't it? First made in 1901 by Kodak, I'd say that was late 20's to mid 30's, going by hat and dress.
