Here is a little personal fable someone might be able to help me with.
Well I am wondering if someone out there in the land of the teeming millions may be able to help me. I was recently cleaning out a friends grand parents place because they are moving to another city. I arrived there and I found myself bombarded with “gifts”. Pretty much the gifts consisted of bits of nostalgia from the 40’s and 50’s. The grandpa came over and said here you go take this box, it has all of my old Photography equipment in it. The only thing was he bought it right before he went to Korea and he never had the chance to use it, so it is in mint condition.
The name of the camera’s are as follows, if anyone can help me either find out how much they are worth, or if I can actually salvage them and try to get some interesting photo’s from them I would be eternally greatful:
Here we go there is a Bell and Howell 8mm Magasine Camera. It is in mint condition, leather hard case, all kinds of different lenses, and film! It actually worked when I flipped the on switch. It looks like an OLD hand held camcorder. It has three lenses sticking out the front and it is all leather bound, and made in the USA.
There is also a Bell & Howell Auto Load film projector. this is really neat it is cased in a steel case, and when opened it is in mint condition as well.
Also there is an extremely old Polaroid cameral, all cased in leather. The kind that folds out like an accordian. This too is in mint condition. it has a huge carrying case and tons of flash equipment and many different lenses. All brand new.
I do not know that much about cameras, as I am sure you can tell by my obvious lack of knowledge. Any information on this would be wonderfully helpful. Thanks
