Manufacturer:Model | Manufacture years | Serial Number | Date acquired | Price Paid | Comments | |
AGFA: PD-16 Antar | c1935 | No serial# | This did not come with box or any other items(film mask for split pictures, or instruction book.) Nice art deco version lots of shiny black lacquer paint and nickle plate.Has the view finder with mask that flips up for large frame pictures. High end PD-16 folder with Wollensak shutter and internal yellow filter. A great addition.. And my PD-16 family collection grows! | |||
AGFA ANSCO: Clipper PD-16 | 1936-1939 | No serial # | With box. early version with flip up finder and the extension for the lens board is painted black . no manual or leather case. On the inside where the patent number would be it says "Patent pending" ** To complete my Clipper collection I need the 2 other versions.The middle version and the latter version. Looks the same as the flash clipper with out the flash attachment.** | |||
AGFA ANSCO: Clipper Senior PD-16 | No serial # | One of those odd in between cameras for the Clipper series. Mine has box and instructions, And works the same as any standard clipper camera. | ||||
AGFA ANSCO: Clipper Special | c1938-1940 | No serial# | I think I might like the Clipper series. Or it could be I like Agfa.When I got it my wife said I got a rusty something that might be a camera. Shutter and every thing works.Basically it is the fancy version of the venerable PD16 clipper early versions,Minus the flip up sight and the basic shutter assembly.I wish they made film for this as I would like to try it out. The picture used here is mine.. not so rusty now is it :) | |||
AGFA ANSCO: Memo | 1939-1941 | No serial# | Agfa Memo. came with one Ansco cartridge not the Agfa one. Unique in the way it winds,from right to left. still have some of the original neck cord( need to repair with new cord) | |||
AGFA ANSCO: PD-16 Champion | No serial # | Badged as Agfa PD-16 Champion and made by AGFA ANSCO. It is the same as a standard PD-16 Clipper. Has Agfa branding on back leatherette, Box, and instruction manual. It has the same Unifo double lens as the Clipper,Only difference in I see besides badging, Is the top piece with the view finder is silver instead of black, and the wind knob is nickle plated,The leatherette is "pebble" grain instead of the other normal type. This might be an in between model using left over stock parts before the release of of the Flash Clipper(the silver top is standard on the the flash). **THIS CAMERA IS NOT LISTED IN McKeown's price guide** | ||||
AGFA ANSCO: Plenax PD-16 | 1935 | No Serial # | Art deco version, Comes with box. Mint condition..Another Pd-16 for the collection. | |||
Ansco: Ansco Box | 1910 | No Serial # | This is a original Anthony & Scoville box camera. This was made just before the company started officially to abbreviate their name to ANSCO. It is a unusual design, and wonderfully made. All wood construction, And is some what large size. the last patent date on mine is from 1903. it is in fantastic shape no loss of covering or handle. Glad to have this rare camera! ** just a note- Unsure of the actual name of the camera. On www.collection-appareils.fr, It appears under the manufacture Anthony and Scovill with the name "Box". More research!** | |||
Ansco: Buster Brown special No.0 | 1923 | No Serial # | with box, instructions, never used. it's a tiny little box camera! Photo showing is a photo I took of the one I have. | |||
Ansco: Color Clipper | 1942 | No Serial # | The last of the Clipper series. This almost completes my Clipper collection. Not in bad shape,typical wear. Just the camera no other bits with it. Formerly owned by another collector. | |||
Ansco: Flash Champion | 1940s | no serial# | Poor thing was neglected.It looked like it had been stored UNDER a barn not in it. Little handle disintegrated, but the leather case is in remarkable condition and so is the inside of the camera.Shutter works, and it extends easily. I think they took clues from sherman tanks and built them almost the same way. I felt bad for the little thing..Well it's not so little.. It cleaned up nicely. lens is clear and the built in yellow filter is clear.Still has some rust, but that happens even to the best. | |||
Ansco: Rediflex | 1950 | No serial # | Rediflex. ........ came with the box and instructions. one thing I noticed on all of the cheaper tlr versions, the mirrors are always loose. the rattle when you move them . | |||
Apparat & Kamerabau: Arette I A (1956) | c1956 | 172553 | Pronto shutter. No maker marks just the name Arette IA on top of view finder. Mine is different looking slightly than the one used for the main picture for the price page for this camera. | |||
Argus: 100 | No Serial # | 1985-86 Argus 100 35mm camera. All plastic, requires 2 AA batteries for the flash only. Made in China, with the lens proclaiming to be made in Japan. A perfect type camera for doing Lomo type photography. I acquired it because it was still in the box! | ||||
Argus: Argus A Black | 1936-1941 | 198096 | have case and instruction book. Beautifully made camera. It feels solid and not to light or heavy Mine is wonderfully in near pristine condition. no damage and every thing function in tip top shape. Mine is 3rd version, made in 1941. Glad to have this in my collection. | |||
Argus: Argus C3 | 1939-1966 | 518490 | The "Brick" range finder. All functioning, except the little orange window for the range finder needs a good clean. Not sure about the date But the serial number is bellow the film rail, Stamped into the body. Any way.. It's a Argus C3. | |||
Argus: Argus Seventy-Five | 1953-1958 | No serial# | Mine has the date stamped inside for date of manufacture-October 26th 1959. Has neck strap and functions. No flash and it has been damaged some time ago but was fixed and does not hurt it. | |||
Asahi: Pentax A 3000 | 1985 | 3477723 | It seems that around that 1985 or so period cameras were trying to look futuristic, and almost like each other (Try Canon T-50 ) This came with all you see in the picture and then some other bits not in it. Nice and clean and it was well loved by the previous owner. | |||
Asahi: Pentax K1000 | 1976-1997 | 7787479 | Mine was made in Hong Kong around 1978-79. No extra bits came with it. A very very clean camera. | |||
Asahi: Pentax ME Super | 1980-1986 | 0610 2205107 | With flash, and lens and owners manual and paper work. Useful info..Uses 2 batteries-Eveready 576E or Mallory MS76H or equivalent (need update batteries) | |||
Asahi: Pentax Spotmatic (SP) II (black) | 1971 | 5163071 | The SP II version. Only came with the one lens, but will look for the original lens. As is natural for the paint scheme, it has paint loss in all the places where it rubs something or sits. Still it is a beautiful camera, And fully functioning on all settings. Now I see why people think highly of the spotmatics. | |||
Balda: Baldinette (1950) | 1950 | 2985530 lens | Nifty little 135mm folder. It is a very pretty little camera. Need to find owners manual and a leather case.One unusual thing.. The shutter release button is on the left side next to the rewind knob. It took a bit to get used to that.I kept hitting the button on the right side. It's the door release button that's on the right side. DON"T FORGET to cock the shutter when a picture presents it's self...... | |||
Bell & Howell: bc 111 | No serial# | What is this? Another little instamatic among all those amazing cameras? This little 110 instamatic seems to be common,but some how not? 1970's And I think it uses a flip flash like Kodak.Hey.. it was unloved.. so why not. | ||||
Bell & Howell: Filmo Enlarger | No Serial # | Technically it is camera. but it does not get used as a camera you carry. It is a Cine enlarger camera for taking movie still pictures. it is 14 or 15 inches long, and I would consider a plate type camera.It used Gavert pack film in the holder and you exposed it by moving the dark slide. No lens adjustment, and simple 1 speed shutter. To use it, you would mount it to a Filmo 57 cine projector. From 1929, Brand new in the box with instructions. RARE and unique. | ||||
Berning Robot: Robot II | 1939-1951 | B 114300 | My little robot! Fully functioning, only issues- The original leatherette was replaced a long time ago with a Naugahyde type brown covering that was pealing off. I did replace it with proper leatherette. It also had a few scuff marks on the shiny silver. small and heavy and wonderful! Thought I would not get one due to price, But this one needed a good home and found me.***NOTE- While reskining the camera I discovered the that the lens mount had gaskets made of paper, News paper, or a page from a book. It was in German! I did save the gaskets and re installed them back! *** Xenar lens #2380480 | |||
Canon: Canon 110 ED | 1975 | 310697 | For a 110 it's heavy, and has a solid feel. mine came with display case ,paper work, the flash. you can add the date to the picture (except it stops at 1986) by adjusting three little switches on the side. you can also set the distance 2-30ft (infinity) . uses a battery to operate (6volt A544 battery) And 2 AA batteries for the flash. | |||
Canon: Canon A-1 | 1978 | 328504 | The beautiful A-1. It came with manual, waist level finder, Date back, FD 50mm lens, and caps. remember this one needs battery to work! No manual over ride like some. | |||
Canon: Canon A35 Datelux | 1977 | 047749 | Did you know the year for the date set starts 1977 and stops in1988? i am happy to have this little jewel. The little sister to my A-1 | |||
Canon: Canon AE-1 | 1976-1984 | 3969651 | This also came with a multitude of filters, several zoom lenses,and other little bits. The original lens is missing.mine is the silver top version.Also it came with the Canon power winder.Meter is functioning. | |||
Canon: Canon AE-1 program | c1981 | 3425665 | The Canon AE-1 program camera. meter and everything works. Even powered on when I purchased it. One smooth operating camera. Not the original lens.. but it works,and came with it. The flash battery compartment needs a good clean though. Pesky leaky batteries! | |||
Canon: Canon T50 (Canon T5) | 1983 | 1926805 | 35mm. Still functioning. introduced in March 1983 and discontinued in December 1989, was the first in Canon's new T series of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras compatible with Canon's FD lens mount. Built in speed winder and uses 2 AA batteries. | |||
Canon: Canonet QL 17 | 1965 | 616019 | Came with flash and case. (Need to look up battery) | |||
Canon: EOS 1000 (EOS Rebel) | 1990 | 1100484 | With Lens in good working conditioner. | |||
Canon: EOS 650 | 1987 | 1211378 | No lens came with this camera. bought from same owner since new. Powers up and seems to function. I need to find a lens for it. Late 1980's tech at its finest. | |||
Canon: Pellix (chrome) | 1965-1966 | 147612 | I bought this from a good source, it was shipped to me from Japan. It does not (yet) have the standard 50mm lens, it ccame with the Canon FL 200mm lens. It is a beautiful and well maintained camera. | |||
Canon: Sure Shot (AF35M / Autoboy) | 1979 | N17351 | This one also came with the Aux telephoto lens, Aux wide angle lens. both screw on to the front. just be careful..the threads are plastic on the front of the camera, and is easy to cross thread the metal threaded Auxiliary lenses. 2 AA batteries needed to operate. | |||
Canon: Sure Shot 105 Zoom (Prima Super 105 / Autoboy Luna 105) | 1997 | 3508616 | Came with box, and all paper work. I for the most part do not collect these.. but since it was with box and right there, why not. | |||
Certo: Dolly (3x4) A | c1930-1937 | No Serial # | I bought this not knowing what it was off of Ebay. I knew it was a folder, and missing all the leatherette. Once it arrived, I was able to find out what it was. Several diffrent version of the Dolly were made over the years. Compur Shutters, Vario shutter and others were used. It is fully functional bellows are very nice, ready to use. Just naked is all. | |||
Ciro Cameras: Ciroflex B | c1946 | 33357 | The model B Ciro-Flex. it came with a torn case. | |||
Contessa-Nettel: Unitak (No.246) | c1921 | 541990 | Contessa-Nettel Unitak. Contessa Nettel embossed on leather, Zeiss Ikon shutter with Contessa Nettal lens. Can use either plate film with a holder, or 122 roll film.It is a large camera made of wood (Inner body ) and metal (Aluminum, it can bend easily if not careful but you can bend it back)outer body and camera bed and removable unhinged back . the roll film holders to me are unique, they can be removed like a cartridge assembly.flip a little lever and remove them then you can slide where the film roll would sit a little bit apart making it easy to remove or instal the film rolls.**you can see the lens in my little header picture up top** | |||
Dover Film Corp.: Dover 620 A | c1950 | 3343 | The Dover 620 A. this one missing the reflector for the flash. It is actually a simple to use camera, with the instructions on back. You do not see many of these around. Made in Dover, New Hampshire around 1950. It was hard to take a picture of due to that enormous wind up knob on the bottom of camera. The flash is battery operated and built onto the left side. It is connected to the simple shutter. Aperture settings is a simple wheel type. It is actually well built. I like it. | |||
Durst S A.: Durst M600 | App.Nr.15489215 | This is a Durst M600 photo enlarger. manufactured from 1968-1980. Made in Italy and imported. Can do both Color and B&W. Mine is one step away from being new in box. It has the Styrofoam container, and all parts including manual. Extra parts that came with- Timer, 2 lenses, extra lens board, Color filter set, and forgotten about photo negatives of a woman. This is made by the same company that also had made film cameras. | ||||
Ehrenreich (Capro): Capromatic 250 | 1967-69 Capromatic 250, 126 film cartridge user. Also uses Flash Cubes, Battery operated meter (same as Circle eye) | |||||
Federal: Enlarger No.120 | D-12911 | Photo Enlarger from 1935-37. I purchased this rare hobbyist enlarger in pieces, and extremely dirty. I cleaned and reassembled and the only thing left is a new power cord. Negative carrier is set up for all sizes of roll film, and has several masks for that. It is adjustable up to 8x10. | ||||
Federal: Enlarger No.219 | E-2669 | Photo Enlarger from 1939-41. Unlike the No.120, this has bellows and the option to change to different lenses. it also has a red filter beneath the lens that can rotate out of the way. Not much information on the web for either enlargers. But no matter. | ||||
Federal: Model 16A Enlarging Camera | 1948-49 Federal Enlarging Camera for 16mm movie film. The actual body of the camera is a Fed-Flash and uses 127 roll film. The rod sticking out the side is for the simple shutter. you have to push in and make the exposure by your desired time, and pull it back out. The top lever adjust the view finder, get the section of film you want a picture of, and then slide the assembly down to the camera lens, make your exposure and move on to the next. Simple!! Oh don't forget to plug the light in! Other version of this camera for 8mm as well. | |||||
Graflex: Compact Graflex | 1915-1925 | 45394, 51383 | Yes what you see are 2 compact Graflex in a sorry state. What I am going to do is go against what I normally do and take these 2 to make 1 complete working Compact Graflex. The one missing most of the leather covering Is the one complete with working hardware. The other Has a super nice outer,tight bellows,and the hood,But missing most of the hardware. Both have nice and clean curtains.Question remains..Why do this? My response- Because of the rarity of a complete WORKING compact, and the price that goes with it..And the fact I am saving one from the dumpster, Why not put the effort into it. A labor of love, and a learning experience. | |||
Graflex: National Graflex | 1933-1941 | 206182 | Series II version. NOT mint condition by looks, But it is complete (minus Leatherette) And Mirror is clear, Lens is dusty, and shutter curtain is light tight and no tears. This is one of my top wanted cameras. I love how it looksSo compact, and how when you look at the knobs, dials, and levers how complicate it seems, which is typical Graflex when it is not that complicated, And it uses 120 roll film. In the viewing hood there is also a magnifier lens that swings up. The lens is removable, and has all the data plates to help you out. I simply love it. | |||
Graflex: Revolving Back (RB) Graflex Junior | 1915-1923 | 3159185 lens | it's a little bit rough, but not horrible shape and the curtain is all there and it works! leather missing bits on corners, view finder hood has a small tear, and is a bit dirty. The revolving back (RB)turns freely.mine came with a "23" Graflex roll film holder. Bellows is light tight,Bausch&Lomb 4x5 Tessar 1c lens. | |||
Herbert George: Imperial Debonair | c1950s | No serial # | This to me looks like the after affects of a designer who pitched a all night drunk and had to work the next day. Make it totally funky and off the wall. I have to admit I sort of like it .. it has grown on me. Needs minor repairs, a few chips missing in the Bakelite. It does need the flash.. it looks a lot better with it to me. | |||
Honeywell: Repronar Model 805 A | #7054 | Honeywell Repronar 805 A Slide copier camera. Most I have found out it was used largely for the Medical / Science field.I can also see other uses for it as well. 35mm film camera, the body reminds me of a Pentax type. The flash is inside the base the same as the standard view light. It has a slot for a electric film winder motor. This was my Christmas present from my family because I wanted this unique thing in my collection. Mine is full functioning except I think it will be difficult to find a replacement for the light if need be. Very sturdy and heavy and large -over 4 feet tall. Very neat and unique! | ||||
Hüttig: Standard | c1907 | 14018 lens | Plate camera single bellows extension. It also has the "ICA" emblem on inside of camera but the hallmarks of a Huttig, K.D.O lens, IBSOR shutter.Typical Huttig lens board.All wood housing. Missing handle and ground glass back. But does have "HUTTIG AKT-GES.DRESDEN"film holder. **you can see the lens in my little header picture up top** | |||
Imperial Camera: Magimatic Magicube 126 | c1965 | No Serial # | Little plastic magimatic. Came with user manual,warranty card,and little case to keep it in. | |||
Imperial Camera: Princess | c1965 | No Serial # | Little camera I found laying on top of a dollar bin in a antique mall. No box or anything else.. just this little lost princess looking for a home. | |||
Kamerette: Kamerette No.1 | c1930 | No Serial # | This camera is a very small box camera. Very simple blade shutter, Ground glass view finder on to and ground glass on back of camera. not completely sure but I think made of wood. You can not open it to see inside. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Autographic No.1A | 1914-1924 | 46485 | Has the stylus,It's rough,but all leather is there. Bellows are light tight,But tatty (the outer black covering flaked off) and in need of replacement. The view finder is missing the trim ring that holds it in place. Leather peeling off in places but complete.Shutter works but does stick, lens is surprisingly clear minus some dust. This was found in a abandon house. I have decided to let it be just like it is. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Autographic Special No.3A Model B | 1914-1916 | 677958 | Complete with case, manual, stylus, and some used film still in it. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie Fiesta R4 | 1966-1969 | No Serial # | Thrift store find, Camera is from the late 1960's. Flash is battery operated cube type. just a small basic point and shoot plastic camera. *** Found with EXSPOSED Kodachrome roll of film neatly rolled up inside. from same time period by the markings*** | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie Flash Six-20 | 1946-1955 | No Serial# | Has the flash with it. missing handle. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model | 1950-1961 | No Serial# | Simple little camera, you can tell where the origin came from. Shutter fires with a quick snap and you have a snap shot. Mine didn't have the flash, but thats ok I will get one. Has a slight crack in the body, But still usable. going to roll some 120 and have fun! | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie No.2 Model B (US) | 1901-1933 | No Serial # | box camera has handle and users manual. I thought I would never have any just because of them.. "Plain boring rectangles that are a simpletons answer to photography" and rather common. Well it's different now. I actually like them. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie No.2A Model C (US) | 1924-1933 | No Serial # | box camera and has the handle and users manual.A Thin Leather covered Metal box Still "hinged" at the back door. uses 116 film | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie No.2A Model C (US) | 1924-1933 | No Serial # | Same as the above 2A, except this is a later version with the plastic wind knob, and back is not hinged. it has 2 tabs and then the lock on top. This one has film it! | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie Reflex Synchro | 1941-1952 | No serial # | The little brownie reflex. Kind of neat how you load film. will find the flash for it. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Brownie StarFlash | 1957-1965 | No Serial # | Thirft store find, couldn't leave it there so it came home. Has a roll of used film in it (will get developed just to see) I think since it has the original Rayovac pen light batteries and the film is original from the period.. That might have been the only time it was ever used. Yes one of the old batteries leaked,But didn't damage anything beyond repair... | |||
Kodak Eastman: Cine model B | c1923 | 37584 | The Cine Kodak model B. It's heavy and sturdy.Mine is the early version.Later version has an extended lens.Complete with case and manuals, and 100 foot roll of Kodachrome cine film.For some reason I like this one a lot. The only number on it is on the wind up handle. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Duo Six-20 | 1933-1937 | 226698K | I bought this thinking it was a Retina parts camera from Ebay. After receiving it I quickly found out it wasn't a Retina.It is a bit rough, but very fixable. Due to it being in better shape, some what rare, it has stepped away from "parts camera" status and will have a home in my collection and repaired. **GRRR.. still have to find a parts camera again!** | |||
Kodak Eastman: EK6 | 1976-1978 | ??????? | This one survived the name plate removal as part of the Polaroid vs Kodak settlement, but so many others have as well. It also Has box with it. Don't expect to ever use it.The instant film for this is extremely rare and expired,And I don't think any one will make any. Oh.. but you can find the batteries for it, Flash bars that flip,or other things. Also the design..It's like holding a book in front of you with a hole cut into it so you can see through it. **The Kodak Instant cameras don't get much love from what I see.You can find them reasonably cheap almost free,and hardly used.But like all things, they could possible become highly sought after the more hard to find they become.They do have a place in the Kodak world.** | |||
Kodak Eastman: EK6 | 1976-1978 | ?????? | Another ek6 has found its way to my collection. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Folding Brownie No.3A | 1904-1907 | No Serial # | This was/ is/ will be a project.Some one a long time ago did a number on it. It is a Folding Brownie 3A model A.. But with many issues. Most noticeable is there is NO leather covering. any where on it Except inside on the back. 2nd thing..It does not have the Kodak shutter, Instead it has a Seneca Trio shutter.. 3rd thing.. The hinge for the back door has gone I guess when they stripped the leather. But the black bellows is original and in very good shape and all the metal bits are there that are original to it. HERE is my game plan for it.. #1 Find the correct shutter and lens #2 In its wooden state.. I think I will leave that way but clean it up and maybe a light shellack coat. The wood grain and the way it is made looks fantastic. So that means I won't releather it.**UPDATE..I have the correct shutter and lens. The project continues** #3 Fix a Back door hinge. and make it light tight properly. #4 Clean up all the metal bits. Hey.. It's over a hundred years old, And has come a long way to now.. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Folding Hawk-Eye Special No.3A | 1929-1933 | 1721 | I bought this as a parts camera a while back for the bellows because of it missing shutter and lens.The outside looked liked it had been dragged through decades of dirt. Bellows is top notch almost new, but it is missing the handle.I made the mistake of cleaning the years of nasty of of it while I was bored, and now along with my other KODAK projects I find my self searching for the shutter and lens.It is all stamped metal body and the typical center finder of a hawk-eye. I guess since it's not in horrible shape.. I am going to fix it up like my others. Yes, I know...I seem to like project kodaks more than all complete good looking ones. I also thought I wasn't going to collect them so much either.... ** I have acquired the right Kodex shutter to make it complete again.UPDATED PICTURE SOON!** | |||
Kodak Eastman: Hawk-Eye Instamatic II | 1969-1975 | No Serial # | Thrift store find. has little carry case and instructions. As far as I can tell it has never been used, never had batteries in it. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Hawk-Eye Instamatic R4 | 1965-1971 | No serial # | Found this at a thrift store with the box (outfit),instructions,and exposed film. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Hawk-Eye Instamatic X | 1971-1978 | No serial # | It is identical to the 1st Instamatic 50. only difference is the lettering on the front. It also has the almost always lost flash which can be used on other early Instamatics with that mount. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 100 | 1963-1966 | No serial # | This Instamatic version was the first Instamatic of the line to be released in the USA. The only one before this was the export Instamatic 50. Has box and instructions and wrist strap. A good addition to the collection.I waited a while to find one with a box not destroyed with the instructions. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 104 | 1965-1968 | No serial # | Another instamatic for the Instamatic collection that I thought I would not get into... but it seems I did. uses flash cubes, NOT Magic Cubes.Takes two AAA batteries ( This one had the ORIGINALS in it.. but zero damage done to the battery compartment) and functions like a Instamatic should. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 50 | 1963-1965 | No Serial # | The Instamatic 50 was the first Instamatic released by Kodak Most were Manufactured in England and some made in USA for export. No Instamatic 50's were sold in the United States.They were released 6 to 8 months before the 1st Instamatic 100 in the United States. Mine was made in USA and is stamped "made in USA" under the Kodak Brand. Mine does not have the addition flash for the hot shoe, or the wrist strap. I am very happy to have this Instamatic in my family. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 50 | 1963-1965 | No Serial # | The Original Instamatic 50 made in England. This was the very 1st produced Instamatic series that started the craze. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 500 | 1964-1966 | EK725428 | One of the "Serious" instamatics. Made in Germany with the collapsible Compur Shutter, And Gossen meter, and shoe for flash. Made out of metal and pretty! Has a nice solid feel when holding it, winder easy to use, meter and view finder excellent. I like this little jewel. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic 814 | 1968-1970 | 070409 | The 814 Instamatic. 2 things I noticed the unusual way you wind it, and how heavy it is. it is a range finder coupled to the lens, also has a light meter installed. Was not able to test it ..no batteries for it. it has some black paint loss. It also came with a case, Instruction book, and 1 unused roll of film and one used roll in the camera. I actually like it. Another "Serious" Automatic. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic Reflex (062) chrome | 1968-1974 | |||||
Kodak Eastman: Instamatic X-15 | 1970-1976 | No serial # | I don't know why I got this one. It was dirty and tossed on a shelf neglected. But I do remember when I was a kid, I used this type to take pictures. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Jiffy Kodak Six-20 Series II | 1937-1948 | No Serial # | Shows signs of being stored.. Leatherette peeling up But it has never been used. My feelings is this...It's an OK thing for what it is. Nothing fancy or crazy about it. Morph a Box camera and you have this. Still.. For some reason I keep thinking that this would be the camera I would use at a funeral or as an undertaker.But that's for this model,not the art deco version. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Kodak 35 | 1938-1948 | ER 3205 | Needs a good clean.Has the black cover for the rangefinder and black winding knobs. Need to find the manual and leather case.It is a little front heavy with all that lens and metal and then the bakelite body bits(That's not leather or leatherette that is black) I think this is my favorite Kodak camera as far as looks.I had to repair mine, The long secondary mirror for the rangefinder came unglued some time in it's past, But working perfectly now! | |||
Kodak Eastman: Pocket Instamatic 40 | 1972-1975 | No serial # | little pocket instamatic 40. came with box and a few magic flash cubes. If to be used the battery will have to be replaced if to use the flash. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Retinette IB (045) | 1963-1966 | 461719 | A very clean and shiny Retinette. Every thing seems to function as it should. Think I will try some film in it! | |||
Kodak Eastman: Signet 50 | 1957-1960 | O30993 | This has the ever ready case, and all the little film cards for info. Missing the neck strap. The meter is acurate too. | |||
Kodak Eastman: Stereo-Kodak 35 (brown) | 1954-1959 | 052053 | Complete with case and instruction manual.Another addition to my Stereo cameras. I think from what I see between the Stereo Realist and this one I think I like this one is better as for looks. But I plan on using this one to shoot with after some maintenance **Picture coming shortly** | |||
Kodak Eastman: Trimlite Instamatic 18 | 1975-1979 | No Serial # | 1st 110 in my collection. Why I got it I don't know.110 cameras aren't my cup of tea.Maybe because it had the box and papers, sealed roll of film. I have a flash bar to make it a complete package. Simple, no batteries, reminds me of birthday parties I used to go to when I was little.It was once owned by some one named "Maxine"... | |||
Konishiroku (Konica): Konica Autoreflex T | 1968-1970 | 729239 | Silver bodied version with original lens. Batteries are dead so I was unable to test the meter. Has a minor ding and some wear on paint. Thrift store find. | |||
Konishiroku (Konica): Pearlette | c1925-1946 | No serial # | According to my collector/dealer friend who lives in Japan, this a original 1st model pearlette. Dated around 1925-26.Has the Sakura film decal inside. | |||
Krasnogorsk: Zenit 12 XP | 1983-1990 | My first Russian Federation camera in my collection. Helios 44M-4 2/58, case, and caps. | ||||
Kuribayashi (Petri): Petri 35 | 1954 | A fantastic 35mm camera. all working, range finder needs a minor adjustment. came with ever-ready case that needs repaired. | ||||
Kuribayashi (Petri): Petri 7 | 1961 | came with box, manual, lens cap and case. meter works but how accurate... I did not try to find out yet. | ||||
Kuribayashi (Petri): Petri Flex 7 | 1964 | 570857 | How cool is this? I really like it. Camera is fully functional. No other bits to go with it. Does have a previous owners name engraved on the bottom. I need to take a better picture of this. | |||
Kuribayashi (Petri): Petri Flex V | 1961-1964 | 327991 | Petri Flex V, with 55mm lens, and a 135mm macro lens , both Petri branded. A beauty! | |||
Kuribayashi (Petri): Petri FT | 1967 | 778558 | comes with lenses, caps, camera case. Funny thing I discovered, it suposed to have a flash sync port on the left side near the lens. This does not, yet it has the shoe mount. ???? So how you supposed to use a flash? Now i can understand why Petri went bankrupt. | |||
Leitz: Leica box | No serial# | SURPRISE!!! Well it's not a camera, but it did have one at some time in it's past. I thought hey..why not add this since when I showed it, it made a big hit. How did I get this? It was used as part of a shipping box for some Kodak Parts I got a year or so ago! I suppose I could turn it into a pin hole camera. No won't do that. I think it was for a Leica IIIc around the late 40's or 50's. No matter.. Rare box and the closest I have come to owning a Leica ! | ||||
Lumiere & Cie: Lumirex | 1934-1952 | ....... | Not very sure if it is a Lumirex or if another model type. Research Time! From around 1935. Will add more after researching. | |||
Lumiere & Cie: Lumix | 1936-1939 | F 72696 | Antique store find. This one is not listed in the data base.This is taken from Collection d'appareils by Sylvain Halgand-"The Lumix were designed to be cheap and to sell parts of the previous ranges when renewing models. The bodies are derived from stock Lumirex . The installation of the supply had to be random and that is probably what explains the existence of variants. Thereon , the winding knob of the film is striated , while on others it is Diamond" Uses 120 film and dates from around 1936-40.There are 4 different versions of these cameras due to lens configuration. | |||
Lumiere & Cie: Nada | 1930-1931 | 3342 | Nada Or in slang terms means "Nothing" So is this the "nothing" camera? No I think not . French Lumiere & Cie. It's actually a pretty camera, Lots of shiny nickle plate.The leather is dark brown not black. On the back is embossed on the leather is a elongated triangle with the words "NADA" and "Lumiere" According to www.collection-appareils.fr Website The 2 red marks on the bed are the initials J (Jougla) and L (Lumiere) and "Na" on the J and "Da" on the L. I think it might have something to do with Lumiere and Jougla company... Hmmm More research. It uses 120 film as well!!! | |||
Mamiya: Mamiya Sekor 500 DTL | 1969 | 542315 | With lens and a Vivitar flash and aftermarket case full of other extra bits.***Takes Battery - Eveready S- 76E, Mallory MS-76, or Ray-O-Vac RS-76 (need to update to new battery) | |||
Mar-Crest: Mar-Crest | c1960s | No serial# | One of those Chicago Bakelite candid cameras. Comes with box. Any way..I must also add this.. There are many other cameras that share the same body style and shutter. I wonder if it was a marketing ploy to have so many different named ones, or something else entirely.I need to look into this more.Still fun to collect,and some of the names are unique. If you don't believe me.. Take a look here-http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/The_Chicago_Cluster | |||
Minolta: Freedom Family Zoom | 8610092 | Simple point and shoot 35mm camera. From the 1990's I suspect. Uses two AA batteries. A freebie from a friend. | ||||
Minolta: Hi-matic 7 S | 1966 | 408021 | slight bent on the end of the lens barrel, but still functioning and probably saved by the ever ready case that protected it. Shutter blades are always an issue for sticking.. but these work! | |||
Minolta: Maxxum 7000 AF | 1985 | 34108911 | Camera body. I almost always see them missing lenses. but when I research I find people liked them. Will be looking for the lens for this, Since it seems to work after fresh batteries installed. | |||
Minolta: Minolta 110 Zoom SLR | 1976 | No Serial# | One of the extreme few 110 cameras I am interested in.It's different looking so it makes it cool for my collection it is missing the rubber sun shade though. | |||
Minolta: Minolta 16 II | 1960-1966 | 583415 | Minolta 16 II . Rokkor 1=2.8 lens and Bulb setting for flash. nothing came with it ..just a small metal camera for those 007 missions. | |||
Minolta: Minolta SRT-202 | 1975 | 2318462 | No lens, but all parts are there. needs battery and further evaluation. Nifty! (borrowed the lens off the MC2 for the picture) | |||
Minolta: Minolta SRT-MC II | 1975-1980 | 9071257 | SRT MC-II In working and clean condition.Unusual meter set up (well to me) But it does work properly. Light seals good. Came with lens. | |||
Minolta: Minolta X-700 | 1981-1982 | 3248950 | Lens is clear ,meter is working,and is in overall good shape and ready to rock! | |||
Minolta: Minolta XE-5 | 1975 | 7038450 | In need of a repair! you will notice the timer lever missing. no lens, needs battery. Another needing my TLC! (borrowed the lens off the MC2 for the picture) | |||
Minolta: Minolta XG-A | 1982 | 4061671 | My first SLR in my collection. It has the Auto200X flash as well. also standard 50mm lens set up.It was given to me from the original owner to add to my collection and take care of it. | |||
Neoca: Neoca 2S | 1955 | No.68944 | One very pretty camera. it has the original neck strap too. | |||
Nikon: Nikon FE | 1978 | FE 4100281 | Black bodied version, with original lens, and Soligor Auto Tele Convertor 2x. Fantastic camera, meter and all bits function like new. My first Nikon in my collection. | |||
Nikon: Nikon FG | 1982 | 8872560 | Silver body Nikon FG. Acquired from original owner at my place of work. Bought new, used once for a beach trip and stored never to be used again. Came with Nikon series E 50mm 1:1.8 lens, and Kiron 28-210mm macro lens. it also has Instruction manual,and several filters and hard case. Does need new battery, ready to go to work! | |||
Nikon: Nikon L35 AF | 1983 | 0679262 | It's a Nikon. Made in Japan. It's nice looking. It wonderful to use. 2 AA batteries. It almost looks the same as the Canon AF35 M. Nice! | |||
Norton Lab: Norton | c1934 | No serial # | A part of Universal's little Univex A history. It is a good addition to my Univex A collection. Comes with box. This was made before Universal took over Norton Labs I have the one that came after with the Univex Norton name. | |||
Olympus: Mju Zoom 140 Deluxe (Infinity Stylus Zoom 140 DLX) | 1999 | 4206035 | Mju zoom 140 deluxe. It has a few scuff marks but works well and came with the little remote control. I got it becouse I simply wanted to see what all the fuss was about on the Mju series. It is a lot newer than I like but we shall see. | |||
Olympus: Olympus Pen EES-2 | 1968-1971 | 2282334 | 35mm half frame camera. Basicly a point and shoot type with the aperture blades controlled by the light meter that surrounds the lens. simple focus no guess work. mine is functioning but it seems that a common problem is the aperture blades sticking closed. A light challenge to repair. A very pretty camera! | |||
Oshiro: Lumica | 1956 | No. 2301 (lens) | Basic view finder 35mm. Rektor shutter. It is a heavy little thing. | |||
Polaroid: Amigo 620 | c1982 | C2Z 30953 | Came with original packaging, paper work,original flash bar, but box has lots of wear. still.. cool! | |||
Polaroid: Colorpack II | 1969-1972 | CHM9143B | Another pack film camera for my collection. No frills, no box or instructions and has half of a cold clip stored on the back. | |||
Polaroid: One Step | 1993 | DAC 0D2HB CJ DA | Thirft store find while I was out looking for something else. Complete with box, manual, and half used film pack(battery still good) I think this is the newest film camera I own.I can't turn away from Thrift store Polaroids.. | |||
Polaroid: One Step BC | 1976 | CNC824AA | Sx-70. carry bag also. The only thing with this version.. I don't like the shutter button position. | |||
Polaroid: One Step BC | 1976 | CNA931AA | My second One Step. Got this one free from a family member. As I stated on my first one..I don't like the shutter button location. It's in a awkward position.Other than that..Load some SX-70 instant film cartridge and go at it.Oh Don't forget the Flash Bar! | |||
Polaroid: One Step Closeup | 1993 | 85M80921NDDA | A friend of mine at my job gave me this besides throwing it away. So I said "Thank you ! It will have a good home." And that's about it.. | |||
Polaroid: One Step Flash | 1993 | BOM 8368 VH | Another in the 600 series. Mine has the tan front (the older of the one step flash) A thrift store save. It was very dirty and had crayon all over it. Mirror not broken, and after a good scrub and some TLC, It is a working one step. | |||
Polaroid: One Step Flash | 1993 | C2C 2404 VH | This one is the single red stripe front.Other than that same as my tan version. This one was unwanted and donated to me along with a Sun 600.Tested and functioning. | |||
Polaroid: One600 Classic | 2004 | AFF00003PBSC | One of the last of the "instant "film cameras from Polaroid. Ok so now this is the Newest by year in my collection,and probably the only one I will have this new. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 100 | 1963-1966 | AK955176 | What started the move from roll film to pack film.The grand father of a long generation of automatic cameras.I am glad to have this in my collection. Came with neck strap and cold clip and manual. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 101 | 1964-1967 | D146701 | The 101n if I remember right was supposed to be for businesses or other things. it is a range finder, but not as good as the 250 with Zeiss finder. Came with caase and what you see. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 102 | 1964-1967 | DA109366 | The elusive 102 with the gold tinted front. this was the last one I needed for my small 1st automatics collection | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 103 | 1965-1967 | M719303 | ...and here we are almost to the full plastic Polaroid. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 104 | 1965-1967 | T523777 | Had to have the first all plastic Polaroid, with the distance scale in the view finder. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 125 | 1965-1967 | TA115397 | Camera, with cold clip , manual,and warranty card. Bought this with the 2nd 250 from the same person. still had color film in it, fortunately the battery did no damage. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 150 | 1957-1960 | K282980 | One of the Polaroid models I like because of looks. Satin metal and hints of shiny nickle plate and the grey leatherette.still has the instruction sheet on the back of camera.Just like my 95, it's heavy, a tad bit awkward but beautiful.**Picture comes shortly :) | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 220 | 1967-1969 | ZD779331 | with case ,Flash,Manual and cold clip. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 250 | 1967-1969 | ZA817570 | My 1st model 250. Came with storage case, flash,developing timer #128, film, all documentation, Flash bulbs, and self timer #192. I like this model, It has good feel, not to heavy or light, and Kudos to the Zeiss range finder. Remember to keep them rollers clean! | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 250 | 1967-1969 | ZA456983 | My second 250. needs minor repair on battery connector (had battery in it). Just camera and outer shell with owners manual. no other accessories, unlike my first one. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 430 | 1971-1977 | BX299519 | No flash or accessories came with this. Found this little jewel neglected in a box full of of junk. Gave a $1 for it. It does have the cold clip, and a instruction sheet about the flash. Timer on the back works, and the insides are good and clean..no rust. Battery connectors will need a clean as it still had the original battery in it. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 430 | 1971-1977 | BX221756 | You know you have to many when you can not remember that you have one already! This one came with flash and a bunch of flash cubes, Case, and a unused film pack that expired in 1976. Battery compartment is pristine. Oh well.. whats 1 more right?! | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 600 "Business Edition" | F2K 1302 VJ AB | "State Farm Insurance" Found at a thrift store on shelf while looking for something else. Red face with the insurance company logo next to the flash | ||||
Polaroid: Polaroid 700 | 1955-1957 | A 20716 | "The 700" This would be a model 95A turned into a little more serious camera. I believe this is the only version with an added range finder done at the factory,Before the latter versions with it built into the body.Other than the leather and bellows color, and the front face plate,all else is standard 95A.**A note about the range finder-The finder has no makers marking,but the flash guide plate on top has the Polaroid logo.The casting for the finder is made for this body style and not an aftermarket addition.** | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 80 (Highlander) | 1954-1957 | H706132 | Came with original box , all instructions and papers.Also came with Model 281 flash gun with box and instructions, and the model pr-23 exposure meter in box. ***Produced: 1954-1957 / Original Retail: $69.95 Estimated Production: 610,000 - 730,000*** | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 800 | 1957-1962 | LA328674 | The 800. what can I say? It is a 150 with the 700 colors and bellows. this one has no other bits or case, just the camera. it was barely used..if any, the insides are all nice and shinny. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 80A (Highlander) | 1957-1959 | H936540 | No extra parts or flash. Last camera needed to complete the Model 80 collection.***Produced: 1957-1959 / Original Retail: $72.75 Estimated Production: 400,000 - 570,000*** | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 80B | 1959-1961 | LC456070 | Model 80B. This one is brand new never had a roll of film in it. Came with case,Model 250 wink light, Exposure meter #625,Complete instructions warranty card,photo mailer,and 4-s light reducer lens.Shiny and new, clean on inside and out not a scratch anywhere. 1 owner since new.. now I'm the second. Funny I didn't think I would get one of these. I'm a sucker for the Polaroids... ***Produced: 1959-1961 / Original Retail: $72.75 Estimated Production: 175,000 - (300,000)*** | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 900 Electric Eye | 1960-1963 | E408186 | The 900 is almost totally different from the 800. I know the 850 was the first Electric Eye but since I do not have one yet, it might look similar to the body style of the 800, but that's about it. **REMEMBER it has a battery compartment on the back side of the lens housing lower left** | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 95 | 1948-1953 | 0029526 | Early version,has sight spring and stamped face plate.That makes it one of the first 100,000 produced according to the land list. with padded felt lined original case, manuals even a letter from Polaroid, and a photograph of two older ladies taken with it from way back in the day by the original owner who owned a drugstore near the Bronx NY. One more thing...It is HEAVY and large, And in pristine almost mint condition.Polaroid must have liked to make Big cameras up till the SX-70 days.Maybe this is the reason I like the pre- SX-70 pack film versions more. Oh and if you see one in person..They are very beautiful to see. I recommend seeing one! | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 95A | 1954-1957 | S271487 | Model 95 A . No extra parts or case. has the instruction sheet on back, and is in lovely condition. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid 95B (Speedliner) | 1957-1961 | S690795 | The 95 B Speedliner. Missing the hand strap. It was a pile of parts when I got it. I put it all together back to functioning. it also came with a case, but no paper work or accessories. this is the last of the 95 series and completes my 95 collection. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid J 33 | 1961-1963 | F132399 | With this, it completes the small roll film cameras from Polaroid. The J33 body is a modified model 80 type. So I have always considered this a type of model 80, just with a some what boring lens assembly. The lens assembly is the same as the J66, just in a smaller container. No extra bits came with it. | |||
Polaroid: Polaroid J 66 | 1961-1963 | J200689 | The J66 is the last in the line of Polaroid roll film cameras. It is also the most numerous as it was widely popular at that time due to it's price, and being easy to use. It's the same size as it's ancestors, except for the lens assembly. You can see the origins of the pack film cameras in this model as the model 100 pack film cameras started in 1963 when the J66 was discontinued. It has a built in flash, and adaptable for 3000 speed film. Mine came with case and a few extra bits. ***Produced: 1961-1963 / Original Retail: $89.50*** | |||
Polaroid: Pronto | 1976-1977 | ANF608AA | early model Pronto based on the original one Step BC body. The all black body looks neat like that. | |||
Polaroid: ProPack | 1993 | |||||
Polaroid: Reporter SE | c1977 | VL8131A | Nice little camera for pack film! Light and not as big as the 100-400 series pack film cameras. Takes 2 "AA" batteries to power it. Cold clip stored on back. The only draw back is the view finder is a basic finder. Get your distance if your close to the subject first and dial it in. | |||
Polaroid: Spectra | 1998-c2000s | M3Q JDMJSV G BB | Great instant shooter camera. The Spectra film is slightly larger exposure than film for the Sx-70's or 600's or pack film. One thing to note..Its design makes it stick out from the side of your head kind of funny, and can be a little bit difficult when going for the shutter button when not used to it. It also has a little alert sound that reminds me of a 1980's Toyota key in the switch alarm.You can turn that off if you don't like it. | |||
Polaroid: Spectra 1200si | BAC JML4Q VANB | Year made 2002. This polaroid uses the 1200 series film. It also has the bag and close up lens. | ||||
Polaroid: Spectra SE | 1997 | L7C J636Z VHBE | Mine is the latter of the spectras.All rounded edges,and the big clunky rubbery strap on the side. I got it because I didn't have this one. In working condition. | |||
Polaroid: Square Shooter 2 | 1972-1975 | TM3101A | Pack film user, battery compartment in pristine shape, had a bunch of unused flash cubes and instruction manual in the case with it. | |||
Polaroid: SUN 600 LMS | 1982-1986 | F5L 16937 NE | Well. What can I say about this?It's a POLAROID. 600 film user, built in flash. | |||
Polaroid: SUN 600 LMS | 1982-1986 | K5L 9604 VE | My second Sun 600 LMS. It was donated to me.Fortunately it is the different decorated version than my other one.Tested and working perfectly. | |||
Polaroid: SUN 640 | 1986-1992 | J1K 02861 NB | same as above.. Bask in the rays of the SUN. | |||
Polaroid: SUN 660 | 1986-1992 | M2M 8553 VB | More fun in the SUN this time with auto focus! | |||
Polaroid: SX-70 | 1972-1977 | 2B621739976 | Black and Silver Original SX-70. I think possibly why it is 2 tone, it is using up parts from the the original SX-70 line, and the body from the new second generation SX-70 Alpha. in other words a go between. this is not the Sears store model, As it is not stamped on the front. this version is rare and very limited as a true 1st generation SX-70. The Sears store model are more numerous than this version. Mine came with ITT magic flash unit. It will be reskined with the original "pebble grain" black leatherette.****Serial Number : 2B621739976, Config : 6th Flash Inhibit Shutter, Model : Model 2, SE, Sears or Alpha 2, Birthday : Feb 26, 1976. **** | |||
Polaroid: SX-70 | 1972-1977 | L31064327 | The original SX-70. After researching this would be 2nd type due to the finder having the split circle, and no numbers for distance on the taking lens. Came with basic manual 4 sets of unused flash bars and a soft comfy original case. No cracked leatherette skin, no scuff marks and rollers clean and shiny like it has never been used. ********** Serial Number : 0L310643277, Config : Hybrid Shutter, Model : Model 1 or Alpha 1, Birthday : Nov 26, 1973 ********* | |||
Polaroid: SX-70 Alpha 1 SE | c1977 | No Serial # | It is an attention getter out in public. A fun camera. And it's the SE. No other bits with the camera.I releatherd it with the original black "pebble grain" that is used on the SE versions. It's a common thing with all SX-70's. What ever they used back then does not stand up to the test of time.Recommend finding a flash unit (like the ITT flash or Kalimar) instead of the flash bar unless you have a lot of $$. You can go through them quick! | |||
Polaroid: SX-70 Model 3 | 1975-1978 | 0H635777375 | The model 3 isn't as popular as the other versions.But it still does what the other SX-70's do.. and that's take pictures. Mine came with neck strap and instruction manual.Also it came with the ITT magic flash unit. The leatherette isn't in great shape.. but that's to be expected. Happy to have it in my Polaroid collection!*********Serial Number : 0H635777375, Config : Hybrid Shutter, Model : Model 3, Birthday : Aug 25, 1976******* | |||
Quantronics: Nishika 3D N 8000 | 1980 | 267755 | Surprised I am claiming this. No other bits just the camera. I got it because the price was right ( $1 shy of free), hadn't seen one in person, And I know the story behind it.No plans to use it.The equivalent of the DeLorean in the camera world. 1 word of CAUTION It takes 35 mm but getting it developed and turned into a 3d image is out of the question the only ones that could do it went out of business back in the 90's. But unless you plan to make a Gif image with the 4 pics then go for it. Other wise it's a odd shelf sitter. | |||
Riken: Ricoh 35 | 1955 | No. 35821 | Rangefinder and shutter fully working at all speeds after repair. no other items came with it. | |||

Riken: Ricoh Auto Half | 1960-1963 | 166306 | The odd and and very small Ricoh Auto Half ( AKA.. Automatic, And Half frame ) camera. The meter surrounds the lens/shutter on the front. the wind knobs on the bottom. A neat little thing! | |||
Riken: Ricolet | 1954 | 36436 | A little dirty but functions. Will give it a good clean.Took me bit to figure out how to open it, Once I figured out that the two round knobs on the bottom unlock it and the back slides off. | |||
Rollei: Heidoscop (6x13cm) | 1925-1940 | No. 9877 | 10/26/13 | Complete case with key, and accessories. Also have Ilfford 6X13cm dry plates for all 12 holders new in sealed box. All leather attached, minor paint loss is the only thing. Shutters fire on all speeds no lag. Very early Heidoscop. You would also think it is a large camera.Surprisingly not so much.I would love to find the 120 rollfilm back you can use instead of the cartridge. I know Rolleioscop is already like that,But you can get it as a accessory for this one. | ||
Rollei: Rolleicord I | 1934-1936 | 1593772 | shutter needs CLA. Normal wear and tear on body.Waist finder is missing the little rivet that keeps the finder from flopping wide open. | |||
Rollei: Rolleicord II (IIb /Model 3 / Model K3-541) | 1938-1939 | 669938 | Rolleicord IIb . Ground glass is broken and mirror has lost silvering. Repairable. This one goes with the Automat I from the same time period. | |||

Sears Roebuck: Trumpfreflex | c1940 | No Serial # | Trumpfreflex 120 film camera made by Richter of Germany and sold in the USA by Sears. It might look like a fake TLR but thats not true. use the lever on the leftside and both lenses move. Mine has the Stello shutter, Triolar lenses. | |||
SEM: Kim (I) | 1947 | 335? | The little French made 35mm Sem Kim. It is all metal with a black krinkle type paint. The person i got it from said it does not work. but once I got it and tried it it does work on all speeds. it has a tiny viewfinder opening in back. pretty neat. | |||
Shinano: Pigeon J II | 1954 | No.15114 | the oddly named Pigeon. came with ready case. the back and bottom slide off to load film. same knobs for winding as the Lumika. | |||
Sida: Sida Extra | 1938 | No Serial # | The smallish little know bakelite 35mm Sida Extra. It used 35mm film on paper backing ..not like the 35mm rolls used today. It is palm sized, about like the Univex A series. This one was made in Germany (German maker marks) and came with the protective case. | |||
Sida: Sida Standard | 1938 | No Serial # | Sida Standard This model Sida has the removable view finder so you can use the wire frame (sports) finder. that what the two little bumps on top beside the finder is for. Mine is of course missing the wire frame finder, has some paint loss on the spots where the case rubs.It is all metal and sturdier than the American made Univex A , and a touch larger, with the markings D.R.W.Z (Deutsches Reichs Waren Zeichen , ‘Imperial German trademark’) on back door. | |||
Simpro: Simpro-X | c1970 | No Serial # | An odd little thing.About the size of a Univex A. just clip on a 126 cartridge , add a x-flash cube (magic flash cube) and go for it. All plastic. mine came with box and instructions. new never used. | |||
Spartus: Spartaflex | 1950 | no serial# | 3 words-- "THIS IS SPARTAFLEX!!" 2nd version true TLR focusable geared view lens to taking lens.

All the platic bits except for the top piece are grey plastic and not painted. It does have some paint loss on the metal bits, but I will only touch up the trim that was black. No neck strap or flash. | |||
Spartus: Spartus 35 F | 1947-1954 | No Serial # | Has box.Model 400, and in almost unused condition. ***This is not the Herald /Spartus 35F Model 400. This original Spartus Manufacture before The name change. it has all 4 knobs on top and bottom not like the Herald version.** | |||
Taisei Koki: Super Westomat (I) | 1956 | lovely westomat. click for user manual | ||||
Tiger Electronics: Pokemon Pikachu | No Serial# | Go ahead and laugh! Yes it is a real 35mm camera from around 1999. 1 double A battery supplies the flash. I got this as a tribute to my early days in my 20's when I collected the cards, and watched the show and movies. When you take a picture it also puts a border on the negative of 4 pokemon characters. Enjoy! | ||||
Toko: Windsor (35, I) | 1953 | PAT.2610217 | Tōkō Shashin Windsor 35. This one has originally no accessory shoe on camera. NKS shutter 1- 200 speed, T.K.C. Color Sygmar lens. it is a heavy camera compared to others. | |||
Tougodo: Hobiflex III | c1952 | 21540 | True TLR, Took me 30 minutes of research to find out what this was. name plate is missing, and besides the lenses only other marking was "Made in Japan". It's in a bit of rough shape, missing the leatherette on the finder, Name plate missing, And shutter sticks a little. it is not as heavy as a Rolleiflex. All the weight is in the front on the Compur type Shutter and rather large adjustment for the lenses.But the big gears for the adjustment make it look cool,and at first glance, excitingly complicated. Not perfect.. But that's ok with me! | |||
United States Cameras: USC Reflex II | c1960s | No Serial# | In need of repair, mostly a good clean and putting the waist level finder cover back on. it is a simple no frills snap shot camera. No flash or other bits are with it. Once I fix it up ..picture will be posted. | |||
Universal Camera: Buccaneer | 1945 | #011758 on Lens | This thing is large for a 135mm.And I might add a bit complicated. It is a true rangefinder, With A unique spring loaded lens extension.film winds off the roll to left.So to roll the film back after use ..you use the rewind knob on the bottom right.It is a mix of Bakelite,and metal.It's very unique.. | |||
Universal Camera: Duovex | 1934 | No Serial # | I believe mine is a little later type. It looks like 3 Univex A's stuck together.The center is actually the sight. It has a ground glass back that you look through, and contains the shutter lever for both cameras in the center part.The body is the 1st model A although modified.The 2 other A's are the original 1st version.Mine came complete with 2 empty spools and to unused rolls of #00 film.It is a unique little Stereo camera. It's not like my Heidoscop, nor like my much wanted Gaumont Stereo-Spido metallique.Still It took some ingenuity to make this happen.It is a fantastic addition to my collection. **UP DATE** This could possibly be a LOST version of the the Duo-vex. It is not listed in the "The Univex Story" book. I do not know about McKeown's price guide. The 2 versions know only have the simple frame finder. Need further research.!!!!! | |||
Universal Camera: Meteor | 1949 | 121449 | This meteor came crashing to my home needing a good clean and some TLC. the case is in bad shape but the camera is in good shape. Unsure about the meter as the view finder for it is very cloudy. | |||
Universal Camera: Norton Univex | 1935 | No Serial # | (Norton Univex on back.) Small folding view finder. Almost identical to the Univex A With out the large wire finder on front. It's small. It will fit in the palm of your hand. | |||
Universal Camera: Roamer I | 1948 | the roamer 1 complete with box and paper work, and sales receipt. it sold for 29.75 in 1948 | ||||
Universal Camera: Roamer II | 1948 | 203818 | After the war, Universal was trying to regain what it had pre WWII. The roamer series is part of that. The Roamer II is the fancy version with a little leaver on the folding bed for shutter release and a faster lens. It can use either 120 or 620 film. | |||
Universal Camera: Twinflex | 1939 | No Serial # | Complete with box with inserts, Instructions,and sales pamphlet.Mint condition never used.Produced around 1940..so pre WWII.I have read it's the smallest true TLR. Uses No.00 Univex film. Very happy to have welcomed this rare little camera to my little family. | |||
Universal Camera: Uniflex I | 1948 | 217825 | the original 1st version Uniflex I. It is a true TLR with full focusing. all intact and in need of a CLA. another note... it had a serial number! | |||
Universal Camera: Univex A | 1933 | No Serial # | Univex Model A. very early model. This is from the first production run before they made a change to correct a issue. All later model A's have the stepped shutter / lens inlet in the body to prevent lens flare or glare onto the film during exposure. they made the changes very early due to complaints. This camera model started the company on it's way. Very rare, hard to find. I have been looking for this one model for several years. Now to get the other more common versions and share the differences. | |||
Universal Camera: Univex A | 1933 | No Serial # | I call this Univex Model A - Type 2. This is the 2nd version of the early Model A. At first glance it is similar to the early model A. This one has the fix for the taking lens, being stepped to help deflect light. 2ndly the winding knob is made of metal instead of the more fragile plastic. I also noticed that there is a weight difference, and seems more fragile than the first. | |||
Universal Camera: Univex A | 1933 | No Serial # | This is the most common and last of the model A's. Basically it functions as a standard A, But as you can see the decoration of the body is different and more Art Deco. The back now shows it has a patent, with the patent number. And the other design change is the winding knob is now on the lower left hand side.so now besides rolling up you roll down. | |||
Universal Camera: Univex A8 | c1939 | No Serial # | Univex's first 8mm home movie camera. Small hand held cine camera, from 1938. Some times they were bought as a set with the Univex P-8 cine projector in a special case to store them both. **The winding handle and lens are almost always missing on these today. | |||
Utility MFG: Falcon Miniature | 1938 | No Serial# | The one I have is a the other version. Art deco lettering on the front. It has the same Body and decoration as my Mar-Crest from above Only deference is the wording of manufacturer and name. | |||
Vivitar: SpreePlus | No serial # | 35mm point and shoot camera. This was given to me by a friend. Takes two AA batteries and go to town.Auto Flash, Motorized rewind. | ||||
Vivitar: Vivitar Pocket 835 AW | c1980s | No serial # | From 1979. A 110 film user. Uses 2 AA batteries, built in flash, motorized rewind, and 2 different settings for lens and viewer for distance. Mine came complete with display box,user manual,and warranty cards. Camera is sort of long for a "pocket" camera at about 5 1/2 inches long. Pretty neat and a welcome addition. | |||
Voigtländer: Bessa | 1929-1949 | No serial # | 1935 -37 Bessa. this one has the shutter release mounted on the main door. 120 film , and all mechanics work. Missing the little carry handle. 1 neat thing- where the film goes , you get a nice message saying "Voightlander Film" making sure you use their film! | |||
Vokar: Vokar A | c1940 | 1925 | 1939-1940ish. The 1st model from Vokar out of Michigan. Originally designated "Model FC" but this was changed due to the Vokar B Textolite plastic construction and uses 120 film. | |||
Vokar: Vokar I | c1946 | The Vokar 1 rangefinder. It is heavy and large for what it is. It is need of some work, but happy to have one. | ||||
White: Stereo-Realist 1041 | 1947 | 003071 | Low serial #, No other extra bits, Just the camera. Fortunately the hinged lens cover is intact and not broken. A bit dusty and dirty, But lens are fungus free and not scratched. After a good clean, will run some film through it and give it a good test. | |||
Whittaker: Pixie | 1950 | No Serial # | The smallest camera in my collection. Mine has the Camera, Film cassette, the display box, and the little suede bag. it looks like it has spent its life in the bag. Now I see why they are coveted by collectors. It is smaller than the Univex A, and uses 16mm film. | |||
Wirgin: Wirgin Deluxe (Model 11) | 1948 | 27310 | Not sure if this is a Model 11. I know it is by research a Wirgin Deluxe early version, and has the ever ready case that is stamped "Voight" which is the correct case for the ones sold in Germany. These were made by Vokar company (See above on list- the Vokar) Not much else is learned except that it is some what rare and coveted by collectors. | |||
Yamato: Skymaster | c1957 | The Skymaster is the same as the Yamato Pax M3 but the top body is different. It came with a meter as well. | ||||
Yashica: Yashica 44 | 1958 | 38111089 | Adorable little Yashica 44. My first Yashica in my collection. It is in working condition, does need new leatherette and a CLA. I love this little thing it is cute! | |||
Zeiss Ikon: Bebe (342/3) | 1928-1938 | R 52494 | Camera has ground glass back and film holder. All leather intact. Shutter fires on all settings.Carl Zeiss Jenna No1268960 Tessar 1:4,5f= 10,5cm on lens. Bellows does have slight damage though. It's heavy for being as small as it is(2 lbs roughly). And next to the stamped serial number it also has stamped "For China" So I guess an export model. It's a neat compact camera. | |||
Zenith Camera: Comet | 1947 | No serial # | One of those 'Unusual" cameras.Mine does not have the box,Wish it did, And it was a step above filthy. It's made of plastic, not bakelite like I had thought. Mine has a roll of exposed 127 film in it that possibly could be developed. I cleaned it for several hours and even though it has some surface pitting in the plastic, it looks good. one word of caution.. be careful about extending the lens to get the distance. the two little screws are the only things that hold the shutter assembly to the extension and would be very very easy to rip the shutter off. the only other thing is for this camera.. And I quote "The professional type camera designed for the average photographer" which is stated right on the box if I had it. Sorry I just can't see this Comet giving Rollei a run for it's money..But..Still It's neat! A great unique addition to my family. | |||
Zenith Camera: Comet | 1947 | No Serial # | This is of course my Second Comet. This time I got one with the box and instructions, and camera has never been used! still a unique weird little plastic camera, (NOT BAKELITE) but no roll of film. I thought I would never find one with the box being how rare they supposedly are. Now to find the Comet Flash! |
