Apparently "New never used", which it looks that way when I opened it up. There was an unopened package of batteries that had an (expiry?) date of 1982 (yes, they had started to leak but not outside the packaging)....

My mother in law dropped off a box full of old cameras that they had kicking around their basement for a decade or two. There was a couple of nice surprises that I'll hang onto; a Yashica C and an Argus LC3.

There are a few others that I won't use and aren't really worth anything, but if someone is interested just send me a PM. I'd rather give them away to a good home than the dump... They are;
- Polaroid Colorpack 80
- Instamatic X-25
- Instamatic X-15
- Kodak XL330 Super 8 Movie


Here is the box that arrived....



The Yashica C





The Argus LC3

Thanks Nesster. I had presumed it was 120 :eek:. I'll have to open it up to check it out.....I'm not even sure if it has an empty reel inside. One of the local shops has a fridge full of 120....hopefully they can get 127.

That sure looks to be in great shape Nesster. I have my fathers (which I think was my grandfathers). It must be around the same vintage as yours but it is well worn. It has a 5cm f 3.5 Novar-Anastigmat lens on it and goes up to 1/300 for the shutter speed. It's funny how the lens was listed in cm and not mm.

I can still remember dad pulling it out of his pocket to take pictures of us kids during summer vacations. I have some b&w film ready and plan on doing the same with it this this summer with my kids. It has probably been 30 years since it has been used but it seems to fire just fine and the leather bellows look to be in great shape.

Anyways, yours sure looks good.

Steve
