Get this, it came with the original box for the camera (a two piece sliding together type) with the price marked on it and a photograph taken back in the 1930's which was used as a contact print used for the distribution and sale of local postcards ( with the typical white marking of the location of were the photo was taken. Makes for a nice complete story of this vintage camera. The location where this camera was used was Delavan Wisconsin. Don Wehrenberg Wheaton Illinois <br />PS the original owner also signed the camera.

Lacking that, there are quite a few on line sources for film, and the prices are as good or better as local retailers. I buy most of my film from B and H Photovideo. If you google "purchase film", you will turn up a good list.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-64886701510641949232012-03-02T20:37:21.757-07:002012-03-02T20:37:21.757-07:00I have one of these in almost mint condition...whe...I have one of these in almost mint condition...where can I get film for it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814990861896862611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-37916794914279314602011-07-04T08:05:46.408-06:002011-07-04T08:05:46.408-06:00I might not have undertaken the bellows replacemen...I might not have undertaken the bellows replacement if I had not had the opportunity to see it done first. Don Day put a new bellows on my Hawkeye Special while I watched some years ago. <br /><br />In the case of the No.1 Series III, I had the good luck to find a bellows on ebay that had the right size for the camera. It was identified as Kodak part #34656. Since the bellows came as a set of two for $15 I tried the same one on my Vigilant, but the front opening was too small for the larger 4.5 lens on that camera.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-71737186251432824542011-07-03T15:57:51.338-06:002011-07-03T15:57:51.338-06:00I like that "Door to Heaven" cabin.

The missing covering was not obvious from the pictures, nor was there any mention of the state of the bellows. That said, cosmetic issues are fairly low on my list of priorities. I may get around to recovering the thing if I use it enough.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-18508391957285780482011-06-28T07:15:01.461-06:002011-06-28T07:15:01.461-06:00Too bad about the leather having been stripped off...Too bad about the leather having been stripped off.
