Unexpected Treasure! by Debbie Black

Posted on December 16, 2009

I took a chance in the last week.
I purchased another Duaflex (a Duaflex II this time) off eBay.
Well, that in itself isn’t THAT much of a “chance” but the description was something like this:

“Kodak Camera.
Old.
Maybe Antique.”

The lack of knowledge and information intrigued me. I bid. So did someone else. I bid again. Ha, that did it – the bargain sum of £2.70 (all in!) and it was mine! Perhaps the complete lack of information available put other bidders off. Or the fact it ended at 5am. Who knows?

So what made this such a treasure I hear you ask? That would be the undeveloped film lurking inside! I don’t know about you, but something about that film has me completely mesmerised. What’s on there? Why did the owner never have it developed? Ooooh the possibilities!

Now I have one small problem, where to have it developed…

    That’s really cool. How old is it?

  • Debbie Black:

    not sure yet – I asked the seller if they had any history on the camera and all they could tell me was it was their Grandad’s, so they’re going to ask their Gran if she knows anything more about it!
