A Kodak Pony 135 that is! My father in law gifted this to me recently. I was really touched since the camera was actually a gift from my mother in law to him over 50 years ago. It is in great shape, even the case pictured below for you. They both know that I have a small collection of vintage cameras in the studio. This one is extra special.
Hope you are having a great weekend. I have some photos to share of late nights in the studio this week. I'm working on a new project. I'll share soon. Off to my son's basketball game then to visit friends at the beach. How about you? Anyone dealing with snow? I can't believe it! Yikes. xoxo
Well, how sweet was that? What a generous and thoughtful gift! Have a great time at the beach, we are having what could be an entire day of sunshine! woohoo :) t. xoxoxoo
ReplyDeleteHow much you must mean to them. That is so extra special.

What a special gift and what perfect condition after 50 years! Did they ever use it? What a treasure indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure, Vicki! I know you will love having it and displaying it! Snow? We are in NC and there's ICE on the mountains and it's bitterly cold here! We had a few nice days when we first got here...now it's cold and windy! I'm not used to this! heehee! ♥
ReplyDeleteI wish I was going to the beach with you!

What generous in laws you have.
ReplyDeleteNo snow yet. Still a fine autumn here with just a little rain (usually just as I step out the door). xx
The beach??? Really??? Are you trying to rub sand in my wounds or what?? ;o) We woke to flurries a day or so ago, but, luckily it moved on...for now. You can smell it in the air though - and I'm afraid to check the forecast.... Wonderfully thoughtful gift from your FIL....what a treasure that will be to you and your family. Have fun at the game - and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteJust visited your blog for the first time, very charming. Snow in Phoenix, probably not this year. Currently, it is 80 degrees.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! what a Great gift... I collect A LOT of different antiques... And I Love all of them... However the ones that mean the most to me are the ones that have been handed down to me....Like my Great Grandmothers Pink Depression Glass set that was given to me by a 2nd Cousin.... Sweet Things.... Have a wonderful night!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift. The case on those are really neat. They look like Bakelite (or maybe they are Bakelite?). Have fun at the beach!
ReplyDeletecool gift and one with a heritage; lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous gift and one that you'll treasure forever! I see a lot of vintage cameras at an auction that I attend each Monday. Perhaps I should start buying some of them.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki - What a wonderful gift from your FIL.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I can almost remember owning a similar camera many many years ago! Oh! I think I just might be giving away my age - you know even I am vintage!
Enjoy your collection!
Hugs,
Suzy

ReplyDeleteHi girl! I just caught up on your posts & have a couple of comments.
1. How lucky are you to have one of Michelle's knobs! I mean miss petite michelle.
2. Love your entry table. Looks like a layout for CL. The wreath is awesome!
3. That camera looks brand new! Someone knew how to take care of their stuff.
Have a good night.
