"This is not a suitcase." Chu Feng smiled and immediately used a rag to remove the dust on it. As he opened it, he said,"It's time to show you what this treasure looks like.”
The box was opened from the side.
Chu Feng turned a knob, and the thing inside kept extending outwards.
It was only after the item had poked out of the box that its true appearance was revealed.
"Is this a camera?" Feng Zewei said doubtfully.
"Yes, this is a Korona 4X5 camera, one of the earliest camera brands in the world. This machine seems to have been preserved very well.”
"Do you see this stretch of leather? This was called Viper, and it was usually black or red. However, this camera was a rare light grayish green, which was a very rare type.”
Chu Feng explained while observing.
"How many years has it been?" Feng Zewei suppressed his excitement and asked. For this kind of thing that looked relatively old, he felt that the longer the history, the higher the value.
" Judging from the dark cherry wood he used being oxided, it should be between 1910 and 1930. This is a special camera used by some reporters and will often be seen at some press conferences.”Chu Feng carefully rubbed the wood on the machine with his fingers.
"Then is it famous? Compared to many other cameras that were still very famous today.”Feng Zewei continued to ask.
The second way to determine the value of an old thing was to look at its value at that time.
"It's quite famous because this camera brand was once used by the Wright brothers to take pictures of their first flight.”
"Then it should be quite collectible.”Feng Zewei looked at Chu Feng expectantly.
Chu Feng thought for a moment and gave an answer,""That depends on whether the shutter can still be used. If it can be used, then it's amazing.”
After all, cameras were not as ornamental as antiques like vases.
Its biggest purpose was to take photos.
If one could take a picture of an old thing that had been produced for nearly 100 years, many people would be interested in it.
"If it can be used, how much is it worth?”Xiao Muxue suddenly asked.
Chu Feng gave a rough price.""It should be between 3000 to 5000 dollars. If someone he likes meets him, they might offer a higher price.”
"Let's go to Old Charles.”Feng Zewei hurriedly said.
"What are you going there for?"
Chu Feng felt a little strange.
"That old man usually likes to fiddle with the camera. He's probably the only one who knows if it can be used or not.”Feng Zewei explained.
Chu Feng thought for a moment, since he had nothing to do now, he might as well go and take a look together.
Then, he saw Xiao Muxue beside him with a curious look on his face. He said,"Close the shop. Let's go together."
"Really?"
"Come on!"
Then, the three of them took their cameras and walked towards Charles 'second-hand shop.
"Charles, I brought you something good.”Feng Zewei's style did not change. He still shouted from the moment he entered the door.
"Why are you here again?" Charles held his forehead and said with a headache.
"I really brought you something good this time.”
Chu Feng then placed the camera on the counter.
"This is?" Seeing what was placed on the table, Charles stared at it and stopped moving.
"Charles, I heard that you play this game. Can't you tell?" Chu Feng smiled.”
"Korona camera? It looks like it's 4x5?" After observing carefully, Charles blurted out," Where did you get the good stuff?”
"Don't worry about that. I'm just asking if you're interested.”Feng Zewei looked at Charles proudly.
Although he hated Feng Zewei, he couldn't help but like the thing in front of him. He asked carefully,""You want to sell it to me?"
"Dream on. Help us see if it can still be used before we talk about anything else.”Feng Zewei didn't agree.
"Alright, follow me." Charles did not refuse. Even if he could not buy such a good thing, it was good to play with it first.
Following Charles, they came to a room at the back.
There were all kinds of cameras in the room, enough to show Charles 'love for photography.
"You guys can stand there. I'll adjust it first.”Charles skillfully mounted the camera on a shelf, then put a light bulb on top of the camera, and covered himself and the camera with a black cloth.
The three of them walked to the photo area with a background board behind them.
Chu Feng stood in the middle, Feng Zewei on the left and Xiao Muxue on the right.
"Keep smiling, I'll focus on it.”Charles turned the knob and adjusted the expansion and contraction of the viper.
After a while, Charles took off the black cloth.
He was holding a shutter controller in his hand.
“1、2、3！”
Charles counted down and pressed the shutter.
Sparks instantly popped out from the light bulb.
It could be used!
"Perfect!" Charles said excitedly.
"Then we can talk about the price now. Charles, how much are you willing to pay for this perfect camera?”Feng Zewei looked at him proudly.
"4000 dollars, no more.”Charles said warily.
"I think it should be more than that. For such a perfect machine, 7000 dollars is definitely worth it.”
"Feng, don't lie to me. You don't know anything about cameras.”
"Yes, that's why I found you.”
