Cameras and Trophies
« on: October 21, 2013, 01:28:02 pm »
Hello everyone!

I've inherited these lovely items from my dear uncle who passed away in July. I don't know much about where they came from, other than the larger trophy. It was won by my great aunt Ella in British Columbia, Canada, in 1910. I did a project on it when I was in grade 7 so I know about the family history of it which is nice. I also have some photos of my great aunt riding her horse! I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to learn more about the smaller trophy. The smaller one says "V.C.K.C 1913" which I discovered stands for Victoria City Kennel Club, which still exists today. They had records for 1912 and 1914, but sadly nothing for 1913.

As for the camera's, I'm completely clueless. I took lots of pictures to see if anyone here knows a thing or two and would like to share :) I plugged in what I could in Google and eBay but there are so many out there I just get lost and confused.

Anyway, I was hoping someone might be interested in what I have here and possibly share some information with me in terms of value. I'm not interested in selling as I find these sorts of things fascinating and beautiful, and these come attached with fond memories for me. I'm mostly curious for curiosity's sake as well as for insurance purposes.

Thanks everyone, and I look forward to chatting with you.

Grizz.

(And of course the pics are huge... sorry guys I'm not sure how to fix that)

The Eastman Kodak 1910 with the ball bearing shutter is running between $50. and $75. depending on condition !! Yours looks good to excellent condition so higher end of that range !!
Very interesting items !!!

Avg price of Eastman Kodak 1910 $50+ like Mart said.

Kodak Tourist (This is the original and not II) $10 - $20 (If you have boxes and instructions/manuals are worth more.)

The sentimental value of the trophy is the most value.  Note the bottom edge of the trophy is bent.  You might want to see if the club is interested in it as a donation if the family isn't interested in keeping it.
