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!)

1997 Toshiba 480CDT Laptop

Hello everyone! This time I will be writing about my 1997 Toshiba laptop (featured in the 1948 Bruce D Mann watch).



                                             


                                             (I'm not Brad)
The laptop's specs are: 64MB ram, 2MB video ram, Windows 98 SE and a 3.80GB hard drive with 2.42GB free. (Note: it also has a CD-ROM drive for disc games & music files) The thing is about this laptop is the fact that I have too keep the laptop plugged in for it to work (the battery is broken) but that was a problem to. I got it without the charger and kept it for about a 4-5 days before going to pick some stuff my parents had bought. While I was looking around I found this adaptor that said 'Toshiba' I knew this was it. When i got home I plugged it in and it worked fine (plus no password!)

The story of HOW I got it is in the post 1948 'Bruce D Mann Watch'

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!
