Looking thru Vernon's stuff

Was trying to sort out some of Uncle Vernon's bajillions of pictures, and came across this one. He's holding the camera I still have. Grandma gave it to me when we last went back to the farm as a family in '73 I think. I took a mess of pictures with it. Took great photos! Not sure how well it'd do anymore though. Everything's pretty well gunked up. Shutter hardly works, all the glass and mirrors are pretty fogged up and all. I found it's twin in a used camera shop down in Seattle some 15 or 20 years ago, and the fella there told me they were german made, probably mid or late 40's vintage. The pic of Vernon looks like it was taken when he was in Hawaii in the late 40's/early 50's.
