Vintage

March 6th, 2011
I think there are things from the past we would like to hold on to, either because they are valuable or simply beautiful. If you have something, household product that is vintage (more than 50 year old...hmm..not a person) please post here.

i.e. a lamp, a memorabilia etc

My dads cine camera. I assume its over 50 years old......
March 6th, 2011
I still use this once in a while, I have a fireworks picture posted on this site. Camera was patented from 1897 to 1904 and yes, American Made
It uses 120 film which is still available,b/w and color. I use Coopers Imaging in Norwich,CT for processing

50 years old now isn't all that old, that's like 1960's. I'm sure I got books and stuff here at the house that are at least 100 years old.

The picture is old, the lamp is old, the little note is old, and the desk it is sitting on is old.

Old piano we had for awhile. It was a staple in my grandparents house before they moved to the west coast.

My grandmother's china. I know she got it before she married in the 1930's.


My great aunt's button tin is full of historic relics including an FDR campaign button.

I found this great scale while antique shopping.

It only makes sense to start collecting vintage cameras...don't you think?

These knobs were in a dusty old box out in my Papa's barn. While visting my Mammie a.k.a Grandma, last summer, I decided to bring them home and use them to make something. A couple of months later I came across this board while on a photo shoot. Now it's where I hang my scarves and hats :)

I found this old 30's model typewriter at a different antique store a few months back...I just love it!

This is one of my vintage 35mm RF cameras. It is a Soviet clone of the Zeiss-Ikon Contax II. When WW2 ended, the Soviets took the entire Z-I factory from Suhl, Germany, and transported, by rail, all the machinery, parts, plans, material and, in some cases personnel, to build the camera in Kiev, Ukraine. The camera is known as the Kiev. This one was built in 1954.

Vintage 1923. I wore the dress to my high school prom. The theme was "Roaring 20s" so I scavenged a local vintage shop for the perfect dress. I've been waiting for the right time to wear it again.
