A Blast from the Past. by ladymagpie

A Blast from the Past.

I should imaging that nearly all us 365project users love our cameras and mobile phones, what on earth would we do without them. Well the other day I was rummaging around in one of my desk draws and discovered this camera I used many, many years ago.

How many of you can remember them or in fact used one. I also noticed that it still had it's film cartridge inside, I wonder what is on the film, could be shocking. This is a Keystone XR408 with electric eye, whatever that is, I think it can go back in the draw to gather more dust.

Thank you for all you comments and Fav's, and I love all your suggestions of what I should have done with the moth. I had a suggestion from a friend to drive the car miles away in the countryside and leave it.
We have come a long way baby!

Nice bit of nostalgia - easy to get in the pocket, though!

We gave my grandma a 110 camera for Christmas when I was about 12 or 13. She brought it to every birthday, Christmas, wedding and other family gathering. She used it to take loads of pictures. Sorting through them reminded me of many happy times. This is a nice reminder of my gram and that little camera!

What fun - I remember having one that looked just like that, but I don't remember it being a Keystone. Nicely captured!

I don't think I've seen one of these before. Would be interesting to get the film developed.

That's a blast from the past Heather. I expect you had to wait a week yo get the film developed only to discover you'd beheaded everyone. Welll if you were me you had!

A great find, Heather! Fascinating to see what those old cameras looked like!

New to me - is there any film left to use I wonder?
September 22nd, 2015  
wonderful find. A mystery film .. sounds exciting. Only problem is ... are there still places one can develop them?
