Anybody know about old cameras? - 6/25/2010 8:45:50 PM    mdavenport   Posts: 49 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Asheville, NC Status: offline I picked these two up at an estate sale today for a few dollars each.  I was going to stick them in my "antique" booth for $10 each, until a guy at work said they might be worth a lot more than that.  So I called my buddy who is a professional photographer and collects cameras, and he offered me $100 for the one in the first pic, and said the other was worth $40-$80.  I think he must be sniffing his developing chemicals, so I thought I'd get a second opinion from y'all.  Anyone?

Second one is a more common camera $35.00 to $45.00. Thats what I would sell them in my shop for;and I have sold them at those prices.Yours are really clean looking and the bellows look to be in excellent shape.If these were box camera's $10- $15 bucks.But if you find a 00 or 000 box camera you would have a $150.00 to $250.00 camera.
