A New Acquisition
I have been working at head office all week getting ready for the big trade show at the weekend , in the course of this I got to meet a new friend . While chatting it came out that I like all old things including old cameras , record players etc . She then kindly told me that if I liked old cameras I was quite welcome to her dad's old Russian camera , which you can see from the photos is in really good condition , now my original idea was to break this up and use the parts maybe on a mannequin but having seen it in the flesh I don't think I could bring myself to dismantle it . It is in its original leather case and comes with a fighter pilot type viewfinder again with its original case.
The camera is stamped made in Russia
Do not break this camera up - it is incredible!! Could sit and look at it just for the thrill, never mind use it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely no intentions of breaking it up! It will join the collection I have and hopefully, when our lounge is redone it will go in a display cabinet.
I love this camera. You could definitely make it a centre piece in a display cabinet with some of your art work.
ReplyDeleteSeems we like the same type of things are you a camera buff yourself? if so would love to see pictures of your collection.
