have just got hold of a Yashicamat LM 6x6 Camera and some other bits. It came with a Leather case thats in excellent condition, two close up lens in leather cases, also like new, a cable release and a hand grip, complete with boxes and manual.
I started to read the manual and a piece of paper fell out, when I opened it , it was a receipt, see image below.
The camera is like new and everything works including the lightmeter, I have just cleaned it and loaded a film ready to test it out.
When I looked up what the guy paid for it in 1965 it would have been nearly £800.00 in todays money, and the Hp loan was for £25.00 nearly £400.00 in today's money.
From the serial number it looks like it was new in 1961.
