After avoiding e(vil)Bay for a long long time, I finally went in to lurk around lately because I have some money in my PayPal account. Came across this tiny Cherry Coca-cola 110 camera and it was going for about US$1.50 … and so I placed my bid for it and waited. Somehow nobody seemed interested in this little old cutie and so I won it! Yipee! Now I have another old Coke camera to add to my collection. I remember getting all ‘addicted’ to these old Coke cameras years before … but I’ve never really used any of them. They do look cool sitting on the shelves though. 😛
It didn’t take too long before a little parcel arrived at my office …
Probably the smallest parcel I’ve received thru mail.
It came in the original box (although a little old) and also a 110 film box inside. The film box was empty though.
Wonder why we don’t see Coke giving away cameras anymore eh? I love Coke (yeah, some @#!@^! says drinking Coke kills) and I’d have a mountain of cameras by now if they do still give them cammies out for free. 😀
This 110 camera is way different from those I have. Took me a while to figure out that to load the film cartridge, you have to slide open a ‘door’ at the back, ‘plug in’ the cartridge and then slide back the ‘door’. Coolness! I’ll try test this cam this weekend.
I have a small bag of 110 film that I bought some time ago and guess I’ll put some of these 110 Coke cams to use more often. Scanning 110 negatives is always a (big) pain in the (big) ass. Argh!
