I have no idea about any of these so, if anyone has any information, let me know if I scored anything interesting and any details I'd need to know to use them. :D

Kodak Tourist Camera (620 film) with Deluxe Field Case (Serial # 104980-A)

Olympus-Pen EES-2 (35mm) (Serial # 2952990)

Graflex 22 Model 200 TLR (120 film) Graflex Graftar 85mm f3.5 On the lens, it says Century at the top. Wollensak for Graflex Inc Synchromatic on the bottom (Patent # 2495355) (Serial # 527273 etched very lightly inside the back.)

All three seem to be in nice condition but could use a good cleaning.

This can be a Tourist I or II, obviously using the 620 film. You can respool a 120 film onto a 620 spool if you have one. Here is how:

I don't know which lens combo you have but the Anastar is considered to be the better one. The other two are the Anaston and the Kodet. Worth taking a few shots with it. Need cleaning? Let me know what needs cleaning and I'll tell you how to do it.

Olympus-Pen EES-2 (35mm) (Serial # 2952990)

A pretty simple 35mm with zone focusing (as opposed to the EE model which has a fixed focus)

Graflex 22 Model 200 TLR (120 film) Graflex Graftar 85mm f3.5 On the lens, it says Century at the top. Wollensak for Graflex Inc Synchromatic on the bottom (Patent # 2495355) (Serial # 527273 etched very lightly inside the back.)

This is a fairly common TLR. The 'Century Synchromatic' refers to the type of lens/shutter combo, there was another one, the Graphex shutter. You might want to shoot a roll with it, just for fun. :D Cleaning it? Let me know.

All three seem to be in nice condition but could use a good cleaning.

Values:

Tourist.....between $15 and $25

Olympus......between $35 and $50

Graflex 22......between $50 and $75


Hope this helps.

That actually helps a lot. When I have 5 free minutes, I'll drop you a PM about what kind of cleaning I'm gonna need to do. So far, they just look a bit dusty. Thanks a million! :mrgreen:
