Brand New!!! 70-dr

[onemillionmonkeys]

I was over my friends house going through all his grandfathers old stuff (grandpa died) and unopened and in original case we find a bell and howell 70dr from 1951!! And no I didn't touch it, you know why? It was still wrapped in plastic!! I mean totally new! My question is - how much would someone (say a collector) pay for something like that? I mean, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I don't think anyone else in the world has something as amazing as that! So, what does everyone think something like that is worth? I'm looking to finance my next feature and this might be a great start.

hey there-
nice find.
the funny thing is that there have been a bunch of these cameras just released from surplus in gov storage... those from the 80's but the same model and make... unfortunately they are only going for about $300-600 depending on the lenses that come with the camera... you can do a search on ebay and see. is your friend looking to sell his? i could be interested> -ishan
