Never thought detecting would get me in the movies . . .

Since this was found in a known Yankee camp, I'm thinking it belonged to the first "embedded" reporter following a company of infantry.



Apparently late 1940s, early 50s. I liked it so much, I cleaned it up.

Question is, is there any film in it?

 

[treblehunter]

Could you imagine if there was viewable film in there showing the last moments of film before the camera dropped..

Cool find

Interesting for sure! Maybe a reenactor lost it.

I think it looks even cooler with the weathered patina.

If you open it, do it in a dark room.....as in a photo lab room.

[No gold in NY]

Nice find. Hope you can save any exposed film. I don't think dirt or water could ruin it, only light.Could be worth a tidy sum.

 

[Relicific]

One of a kind find.
