Hello everybody, very new to the forum so please excuse my lack of experience and photographic skills! I have just obtained a lovely old vintage cine camera, I think it is late 1940s made in Boston, MA. I don't know anything about how to film with it or check it even has a film, but, when I press the button it seems to be working like it should. Can anyone tell me or point me in any direction to find out how to use it and what a rough value might be. I have just discovered on eBay that even the lens is worth quite a large sum namely £160 on it's own. It has two lenses of different size, the other is a WOLLENSAK 1 inch f 1.9 cine raptor. Not even sure why I have two lenses. I think it's a rather stylish old thing and I bought it because I liked the thought of learning more about it. If anyone can sign post me to any further information I would be extremely grateful. Thank you everybody.
 
According to Google that's a 16mm camera. Again, according to a search, you can still buy/develop 16mm film;

For value I'd suggest looking at sold listings on Ebay but you may be better off selling the lenses separately as they can be used on mirrorless cameras with a C-mount adaptor (hence their value).

Cheers

Looking at the moment, I wouldn't plan a retirement fund on the sale of the camera :0)
