So I inherited these cameras today...

Does anyone know if film exists for any of them (except the rangefinder)?

Also, does anon know any info on the plate glass camera? Bonus for estimated worth.

Also, is anon jealous?

The Brownie might be worth $10. Kodak made a ton of them.

The brownie isn't worth anything. $20 at the most.

The folding cameras could range anywhere between nothing and quite a lot. The funny thing about old cameras is that almost none of them have any value simply due to age. If they don't happen to be a sought after model or manufacturer, they're worth next to nothing.

OP...yeah I don't think any of these are worth much, except for maybe the plate glass. im more concerned about actually being able to use the cameras though.

You can certainly use the field camera (the wooden one) if it doesn't already accept 4x5 film you can always cut down sheet film to whatever size it takes.

Argus C3 rangefinder isn't worth much, but is WIN. Fun to use.

Brownie should take 120 film. Not worth very much at all. Haven't used one but see them all the time.

It looks like at least one of the folders is a 120 also (I think you can use 120 film in 126 cameras, but not sure) so that would be useable as well.

The only one of these that might be worth money is the plate glass camera.

Still cool though!

Are you sure that it says that on the body? Perken, Son, & Co were a lens company. It'll probably sell for around a $200, if the bellows are intact.

Argus C3: 35mm
Folders are either 120, which is win, or 127/828, which are lose.
Brownie can take 120 film, but it's not ever going to take good pictures. If you like the Holga, you'll love the Brownie.

Update: I also found about 30 unused plate glass negatives, they're about 50 years old but the boxes haven't been opened...

I doubt you can use them. Let alone develop them.

You do realize you can get a glass plate camera with movements for less?
>> Anonymous
You can still make and develop glass plates if you are willing to get dirty.

Ooo, indeed I am a jealous anon. I love vintage original cameras, these are fantastic little cameras.

The view camera looks like a 4x5, but you can still find other sizes of sheet film if 4x5 doesn't work. The other 3 probably accept 120 film, but may need minor adjustments or tricks if they were designed for a different size roll.

You will need film holders for the view camera, but there shouldn't be any issue at all using film instead of glass plates. If you want to use the glass plates you already have, you'd probably have to scrape the emulsion off and recoat them. I'd be *very* surprised if you could get anything at all to show up with how old they must be.
