The story of The Old Camera Man..
The Old Camera Man is presented by Full Sail Traders. L.P.
My name is Bill Sehl and I am a resident of a small town in California. Over the years I have found an interest in Vintage Cameras made by a variety of brands. As I continued to come across cameras at vintage antique shops, thrift stores, yard sales etc,. I enjoyed learning about the stories behind these cameras. I have repaired many of them as well. I spent my spare time doing research on cameras and I’ve learned quite a lot about them. My interest in these cameras soon became my hobby.
It’s now time for my hobby to become yours.
I have acquired over 450 Vintage Kodak cameras alone. Its time for my collection, to become someone elses. I have had a lot of fun over the years, and I’ve gained a lot of knowledge. If you are interested in a “new” vintage camera for yourself, or for that special someone in your life, please take a look at my collection and help me keep the history alive.
What we offer:
We offer quite a few Kodak Cameras from 1900-1980. Including some Minolta and other brands.
Collections - We have assembled some of our Kodak’s in groups. Some will be all the models of certain makes e.g Pony, Signet. Some will be grouped by lens & shutter combinations, e.g Vigilant. Other Other groups will be by Autographic.
Individual Cameras - We offer many of our cameras individually. When we have them available, included will be flash holders, manuals, original boxes, field cases (most OEM, a few after market.) These cameras, to the best of my knowledge, will be sold complete and functional. The item description will note the working condition. All of our cameras are sold as is.
Cameras to Retore, Repair, or Just for Parts - These cameras will be incomplete or for some reason just don’t work. Possibly both. Some cameras are just missing leather outer cover, or a part.
