I have only one or two family photos from that era where there is someone holding a camera in the shot. These are not shoot-yourself-in-the-mirror shots so I can only guess as to what the camera was that took that photo. Perhaps though other photos in the album are from the one that was photographed?
I have wished for some means to deduce the camera a photo was taken with — or at least reduce it to a range or family of cameras.
In terms of aspect ratio though, as an example, a lot of that will come down to the lab the processed the prints as the negatives are no longer available to me.
EDIT: Some family photos from the 1920's. In the 3rd one, dated 1924, a woman sits with a 1920's camera on her lap.

- actionfromafar 2y agoOne can often deduce the focal length, if there are somewhat knowable features in the image to compare against. Also, if there is a lot chromatic aberration and the image perspective seems somewhat corrected in one axis but not in the other, chances are it's from a disposable camera. (They often have a curved film plane to compensate for simplistic lens distortion.)
