We moved my mom into a nursing and and when cleaning out her place we came across what appears to be a camera from the 60's. Has a case, some black/white film, fan flash, filters, and of course the camera. All I can find as far as a name is Olympus Autoeye. I can't find any info on the internet for this thing. Anyone ever heard of it?

Have to see it..is it a rangefinder or SLR? (can probably answer this ? if I see a pic.) Are there any camera shops around?

Is it an old box camera? It could be older then the 60's. I have my father's old Kodak here, it took small square pictures. I forget the type of film used, but I have ALBUMS full of pictures from all over the world that it took. His was at least from the 40's. Lots of war pictures.

Here is a link to Olympus history and their cameras - scroll down and you should be able to find it . I simply put in the camera name and added the word collectors ;-) Hope it helps -
