My Vintage Bottles

Hello dear readers! Today I will be writing about my vintage bottles! I found them with my sister. We used to explore this long (about 200-400 metres) ditch. We found at least 20-25 bottles in that thing!




Here they are:



(Sorry for the bad pic (I used my camera in the dark))


 Middle: There is a Dettol bottle (I believe it's a mouthwash bottle),

Left:  a Potter And Moore perfume bottle

Right: a bottle with a name that has two R's (one is backward facing the left (flipped)and the other is facing right)

I have no information on these bottles. (If you know something about these please feel free to tell me!)

$26 iPhone 3G 8GB

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about my iPhone 3G 8GB I got off Gumtree for $26! It came in the mail about 2-3 months ago. I had to pay extra because of some problems I had with postage.



                                          Here's some photos of it:

               
          Its running iOS 4.2.1
       (I was planning on jailbreaking it to iOS 6 but I don't know how. If you do know feel free to tell me!)

The volume button is missing which was not mentioned in the ad (Hmm wonder why?) but it is still usable using my nail. Battery life is not very good (that's the reason I did not sell it). I did have a discovery at my local tip in a bin that I always look in. It was a iPhone 3GS box! I was staring at it in shock. Two things were going though my head: is it in there? is the box empty? Well when I looked inside... nothing just the stickers and manuals but I tried to put it up for sale on eBay but I got no bids (I had the iPhone in the box too). I have some more eBay listings up (about 40) at this link: \
https://www.ebay.com.au/usr/gamerbay-electronics     (some are my parents (like coin auctions) )

And I have some Apple items too: iPod touch 1st gen (has problems), and iPod Nano 2nd gen 4GB blue, And iPod touch 6th gen 32GB space grey (my main iDevice), and my iPhone 3G 8GB.

My Sony Handycam From 1998

Hello dear Readers! Today I will be writing about my Sony Handycam from 1998. I got this camera last year for $10 (was $15 but I haggled it down).



                                                Here's a photo of it:



                           
It's in basically in mint condition with only on scratch i know of. It has been for sale on eBay for $220. 

                                             Here's The Story On How I Got My Camera

I was at the local tip/junk yard and was looking for cameras (because I had found only a week or so before two vintage video cameras for 5 bucks) and I stopped at a bag, a camera bag to be precise. I went over to it and opened it up. I was very surprised. ''Dad'' I whispered ''There's an old Sony Handycam over there! ''But its $15'' He whispered back. I said to him: ''Yeah but there expensive cameras though'' (In the end I bought it. But my parents thought I had bought a piece of rubbish) When I got home I got it inside and plugged it in. It was working fine with battery holding charge like a BEAST. Once I had brought it to a wildlife park for my sister's birthday. About 2/5 months later I get it out of my wardrobe to find it had only lost about 1/4 blocks of charge! I was very happy that I had a camera I could trust to bring on car trips and days out. And now I have only charged it about 4-5 times since I got it.


                                        Thank You HandyCam!

Kodak M28 Instamatic Movie Camera

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about my Kodak M 28 Instamatic Movie Camera from 1970-1975.




                                                                        Here it is:
I got it last year for $8 at a place called 'Trash Transformers'.
It came still in a box with instructions and original battery's                                          

                                                Here's the story on how i got it:

                   I was wondering around (this was my first time there) and i went up some steps                                                                                 to a higher platform and spotted a yellow box
 
                                               

                                                                  (not my photo)


                   So i thought to myself: I wonder whats i that box?

                   I went over to see and I was amazed! An old film camera! I thought.

                   So i picked it up brought it to the desk and asked how much.

                   My mum thought I was going to be disappointed about the price.

                  She looked into the box and thought for about 5 seconds. Then she
 
                  Said: Umm... $8. and me and my Mum & Dad were amazed  so i got it

                  brought it home and gave it a clean and checked the price. It is worth about

                  $40-50.

                     

                                          Thanks For Reading!

Praktica L2



Today i would like to talk about my Praktica L2 1970s vintage camera. It is my favourite out of my collection. (I got it about 4 years ago)

                                                        
                                                             Here it is:
                                               
  


                                      I got this camera at a Tip-Shop near Devonport (Tasmania)

                                             It was lying in a box of other cameras

                                                 (worthless early 2000s cheap ones)

                                            I picked it up excited and happy with my find.
                
                                        When i asked a staff member for the price they said $5.

                                         So i bought it, brought it home and cleaned it up.
                                          
                                                      It came with the lens (Pictured) 

                                      Here is some info: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Praktica_L2

                                        The camera is from the 1970s and was made in East Germany
               
                              (DDR) but I'm not sure how old it is exactly. If you have some more 

                                       specific info about it then feel free to comment!
