| The whole front yard, drive way, and back yard was full of boxed items. Most times they "bundle" several boxes together, so you might have to buy 3-4 boxes to get the one that you want. A lot of the buyers are antique dealers, sell on Ebay, or have Etsy shops. |
 |
| I wanted this metal globe, but it went too high as it was bundled with 4 other boxes. Cute pix of Mork! |
 |
| This was an estate sale at the home of an avid outdoors man! I never saw so many tackle boxes, rods and reel, lanterns, cots, Coleman heaters... you name it....he had it! |
 |
| Here is some of the stuff piled in the back yard....ice cream freezers... |
 |
| bikes, lawn mowers.... |
 |
| skies, snow shoes.... |
 |
| The double garage was full of guns and ammo. We went to lunch while they sold those...we are not hunters! |
 |
| Okay....back to the camera's.... |
 |
| I bought 2 big boxes of vintage camera's for $5....its the last entry "2 airface,( lol sbe Air Force) hats and 2 box of contents" The very tired lady that was writing everything down had been there since 10:30 and I bought these about 4:30. |
 |
| There were lots of vintage camera's in the 2 boxes. My favorite is the one on the left... |
 |
| It is from the 60's, big leather carrying case, great condition..... |
 |
| I love the way it folds out! |
 |
| This is a vintage Revere 8mm Model 88 ....from the 1940"s |
 |
| I love the look of these vintage Argus cameras... |
 |
| There was a full case of these flashbulbs... |
 |
| Who remembers Sprouse Ritz? This Polaroid film was bought there! |
 |
| This is a 1950's Kodak Duaflex II (on the left) |

I have my daddy's Argus...just like yours, but in a tan leather case. You bought some great old cameras. I'll be interested to see where you hang the adopted buck. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is a lot of cameras!! I will be curious to see what you do with all of them..
I am glad that you got the deer head as something you really wanted.
I am very anti- hunting and don't care for people who hunt which is a big thing around here so that would really freak me out in my home but if it is what you like, then good for you!!
Hugs,
Deb
Wow Penny...great stuff at those places! I'd love to have the old ice cream freezers and the metal baskets in the picture with them. Can't wait to see what you do with the deer head!
ReplyDeleteWhat a deal on the cameras! I love them! I love photography so have always thought it would be cool to decorate with old cameras. :)

You are so great at bargaining at the auction. We rarely have auctions with this quality of items. Love the camera collection.
ReplyDeleteWow,nice lot of cameras.I sold a Poloroid Land Camera for $100 last year and I know the poloroid film can sell for a nice chunk of change too.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle used to be an avid hunter and my aunt used to decorate the heads in their living room at Christmas by putting red balls on their noses,lol.
Such a great find - what a huge lot of unique cameras!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of cameras!
ReplyDeleteWow. Thats my kind of treasure hunting! You need to take me with you next time! :)
