Through the miracle of Craigslist (and with thanks to Patrick for the tip), I am now the proud owner of this cherry little Bolex 8mm camera. I bought it from a very nice old gentlemen who bought it new in 1961. He had also made a leather case for it, had extra lenses and some other bells and whistles.
I don't have any immediate plans for what to do with it, but couldn't pass it up. I predict any future short films will include a "flashback" in grainy 8mm.
