Antique Hunt: Addition To Collection

[Jarl]

Hello,

Happy New Years to one and all.

Here are two cameras that I purchased a week or so ago. I bought them without being able to see them in great detail so naturally I was a little worried and prepared to...hmm, to kick or not to kick myself...we shall see. So when I finally got to handle them, I was elated. They're in perfect working order and nearly perfect shape. Not top of the line collector priority, but a welcome addition to my collection.

This is what I have to do when I can't dig because of sub zero temps and diamond hard earth.

Thanks for looking.

I like folders. I carry one with me quite often while wandering about in the woods. Loaded with 120 film, it takes a good quality picture. We all now know you have access to a darkroom. Time for you get some good winter film photos.

pa plateau hiker, i plan on it, just a matter of time and getting around and through some things. The Wirgin takes 120 by the way. As far as winter picks...hmmm...nothing pretty here worth taking...no snow, just frost and frozen dirty puddles. Thanks Professor of Engineering, I have several folders. It's like a gift every time you open them...like opening up a spaceship. CincinnatiKid, Thanks. Usually, from private sellers. Otherwise, thrift stores and antique shops. I only have around 20 or so. I'm at a refining stage of collecting, even though I don't have very many as yet. There are several that I bought without really having much criteria...now however, I have decided that I only want to buy working specimens, or at least with few simple needs that I can repair myself. Then again, I want to restore some too...I guess it depends on what strikes my fancy at the moment.
