      this one is another of the faves of my collection .. My mother had this old leather deteriorating box up in her closet for the longest time, and one day I plucked it out because I couldn't stand the suspense anymore and it was this cool looking camera with all these dials and numbers and it had a cool sounding click!My mom said I could have it if I took care of it since it was my grandfathers and ive been collecting odd cameras ever since, thanks to this one.. :)
