Fun things you find in a thrift store for 5 bucks:

 -

A Bell&Howell 134 camera (c) 1939 in excellent condition. SSN#B11954
Camera having multiple shutter speed settings with double shutter release mechanism for either movie or single frame exposure for stop action photography. Springwound setup still works.

Three rolls of sealed 25 and 40 double 8 film.

Westion Master V light meter

 -

Camera was still loaded with dbl 8 film when I bought it.

Hey Monte. If you haven't already used or threw away the rolls of film, I'd gladly give you some bucks for them if you aren't going to use them. PM me.

(I have a camera identical to that one in my collection)

It has a single lens, you buffoon! But yeah, that Electric Eye does wonders. It adjusts nearly as fast as the human eye! Fuck Panavision.

Okay, this is probably my oldest. My prized J-37 military code key. It's not like it's rare or anything, but I'm a code freak and I love it!

(Yes, it's a mechanical device, but it's useless without being plugged into the CW transmitter it is a functional part of.)
