f stops of old fixed focus cameras

[Grandpa Ron]

I should know this but I do not. I have a number of 1950's and 60's cameras I used. You looked through the view finder and pressed the shutter, that is all there is to it.

My question is does anyone know the shutter speed and aperture of these two cameras?

On the left is my moms Brownie Hawkeye in 620 format. On the right is my old 1960's vintage Brownie Holiday in 127 format.

I believe the film was Kodak Verichrome but I do not know the ISO.
