Whether you\u2019re celebrating the seasonal holidays or jetting off in the summer for some sun, sea and sand, the one thing every occasion has are the moments where someone requests a photo \u2013 and a good camera is key to capturing those special memories. Though many of us now choose to capture snaps on our phones, vintage<\/a> cameras are commonplace in attics, auctions, antiques shops and flea markets\u00a0across the UK.\u00a0And while some vintage\u00a0cameras\u00a0may only fetch\u00a0\u00a35-\u00a350,\u00a0there are a number of prized models which could be worth thousands\u2026<\/p>\n

Mia\u00a0Foster, head of the camera department at\u00a0Vintage Cash Cow<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0recalls that sometimes,\u00a0when people decide to sell these vintage cameras, they\u00a0contain original antique film<\/a>.\u00a0These film\u00a0reels can give us a tantalising glimpse\u00a0into how\u00a0Brits used to spend their holidays, and enable\u00a0us\u00a0to connect vintage objects with the real people who owned and treasured them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So,\u00a0make that trip up to the attic (or visit your local antiques fair<\/a>, auction<\/a> or antiques shop<\/a>!)\u00a0to\u00a0see if you can track down a vintage camera or some old film.\u00a0And, if you do decide to sell your finds,\u00a0read on for\u00a0some tips on how to\u00a0get the most bang for your buck.<\/span><\/p>\n
