CHARITY TREASURES: Lights, antique camera, action!

Monday 04 November 2024


An antique German film camera with a bargain price-tag has been captured at Age Concern's charity shop.

Charity shop enthusiast Fiona Walker recently set up social media pages under the name 'Upstylejersey24' to encourage islanders to do their own digging for treasure to support good causes.

Express has partnered with the local bargain hunter to showcase her favourite pieces every fortnight.

This week’s favourite find was a vintage German film camera on sale at Age Concern's new charity shop at Rondel Farm.

Fiona said: "I found this little gem in Age Concern at Rondel’s Farm Shop.

"Imagine having this instead of a phone camera!"

The Agfa Box 94 B-2 camera was produced in Munich in the late 1930s and contained Agfa's B-2 film, which is now recognised as the 120 film known for higher-resolution images.

Although the camera that Fiona found is an ornamental piece, it is a fab bargain at £10.

Express found the same camera were selling online for over £60.
