Just to clarify, the cameras are the antiques, not the jigsaw puzzles.
I owned a camera like one of the ones shown here. I didn’t buy it new, but it was given to me by my grandfather.
I saved my allowance to buy film and then saved some more to pay to have it developed. The pictures, to 10-year old me, looked amazing!
Of course, it was quite expensive in my mind, so I learned to be careful with my shots and to not waste film.
Years later I bought (used, of course) an enlarger and the necessary equipment to develop my own film negatives and prints.
I still take photographs, but just do it digitally these days.
Enjoy the jigsaw puzzle!
