Please read the profile. This is one metal empty spool (vintage) for winding 6x6 format camera film, dating back to the Showa 30s (around 70 years ago). - Film size: 6x6 cm - Listing includes: 1 empty spool - Era of manufacture: Showa 30s - Spool condition: Good - Spool design: Black on both circular ends ◉ In the Showa 30s (1955), about 70 years ago, Japan was a time when people were called millionaires, and owning a personal camera was a luxury. Cameras were out of reach for the common people, so they had to pay a high price to "photo studios" (today's photo shops) to take pictures. In this era, my fashionable father purchased a "Koniflex (later Konica)" twin-lens reflex camera (photo ①) for 30,000 yen. At home, he would sometimes stay up all night, carefully and enthusiastically enjoying the world of photography, from developing to finishing. He used the leftover photographic paper to give "commemorative photos" to the neighborhood children, and the overjoyed faces of the neighbors are still a fond memory. ◉ I used this camera until 2000, and I am happy that it is still in working condition. The film is still inside, so I gave it a cleaning after a long time. Then, I remembered. The metal empty spools from those days were carefully stored away. ◉ I would like to share a true story from the Showa 30s, and I am offering this item, which, despite its age, feels completely timeless. Thank you for looking. #spool #emptyspool #metalspool #twinlensreflex #twinlensreflexcamera #Showa #film #filmcamera #6x6 #6x6format #6x6film #6x6formatfilm
