I recently bought a lovely 1954 Vista Colour box camera from a British Ebayer and this exposed roll was in it. Looks like it may date to the 1950's. I always feel like a bit of a snoop when I find old exposed film but there is a little thrill there at what you might discover if the pictures come out. These were pretty badly degraded but I thought they were cute.

Love the Vista Colour! The well built bakelite beauty has a super strong and snappy shutter, a large and stylish built in viewfinder and a great post Deco/early 50's style to it. And it takes 120...first roll is at Lomolabs now.

    Really a nice album... and a nice story. I am eager to see the result of your forthcoming own roll.
