Hello,
It’s time for another Challenge! This one is 'Vintage... still works !
It is possible that everyone has a vintage item like a watch, pen, camera, car, typewriter, radio etc. that is working forever ! I’d really like for you to please share a photo of your vintage item that still works and to tell us a little about it.
For a start I have a couple of shots of my old film camera to share. Being a photography forum I thought that would be an appropriate item to share as well.
Now it is your turn. Let's see those shots of - Vintage...still works !
Please note I will be checking the posts but may not be able to comment on each post.
Thank you all in advance for your participation !

About the camera: Nikkormat - FTn
Nikon introduced the Nikkormat FT series in 1965.The Nikkormat FTN was produced from 1967 to 1975.
Looks like my FTN from early years of production as the later models had plastic coverings of the film advance and self timer levers. The camera uses batteries to power light meter only. In other words, it can function even without batteries !.
It is working as it should even today and am sure it will outlive me !
No 1
No 2
Shot using the same camera
Does a selfie of me qualify??

These vintage motorcycles are not ours (though my husband has quite a collection). These are old vintage bikes preparing to leave on the annual Cannonball race across America. Some riders even wear vintage clothing. On this year, they race began in Portland ME to Portland OR
