About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Selling My Vintage Camera Collection

Now that I have decided I will be living on a narrowboat when my caring days are over I have to start thinking of getting rid of possessions that have built up over 60 years.The first things to go will be my old camera collection. Now that I am fully digital I will have no space or need for these film cameras.The first to go will be a Rolleicord with which I have taken some lovely pictures and still has a roll of film inside it.This camera will be put on Ebay to see what happens as it will be the first time I have advertised on this site before.The camera is in very good condition with slight rubbing where its been in the case.Note that the lens has a daylight filter fitted to protect the lens.

  1. Hi Dave it's a while since I've seen one of those. Looks in nice condition and I'm sure there'll be someone who will want it.

    Good luck with the sale and with your boating plans.

    Regards Ron

  5. So what model of Rolleicord is this one? This camera looks slightly used. The lowest value of Rolliecord camera on the market ranges from $70 up to $650, depending on the condition and age of the camera. I'm sure this one holds great value. It's been two years, have you found a buyer for this yet? If you have, how much did you sell it? -D & M Estate Buyers
