My Deardorff is 48!

Just found out that my Deardorff 8x10 was shipped to a Eastman Kodak store in Detroit on January 14, 1964. I was born in April of 1964 so the camera is about 3 months older than I am!

I wonder what kind of life this camera has had? What pictures has it made? Any great photographs? How many owners?

Thank you very much Ken Hough for your help with aging my camera. Heres Ken's site he is an expert on Deardorff's.

Hmm we are about the same age, wonder which of us will last longer? Me or the Deardorff, my money's on the camera!
