I first thought this GAP camera could possibly be a relative of the Goldy as in”Goldstein A P”, or something like that. But it’s not. At least I can’t verify my suspicion. I traded it from this guy:
It’s functional but in super funky shape. It’s got “P” / Pose , same as “B” / Bulb and “i” / Instant[ané].
If you believe what you read on the internet, it was manufactured in 1942.
I developed this old Panatomic-x in D76, stock, for 5 minutes. The images aren’t too sharp but then neither am I.

I’ll post pics when the cemetery camera is finished. Gotta come up with a good name. Camèra Lachaise? Ha!

How wonderful – your junk store adventures continue to make me smile.
Thanks for this and keep up the good fight, Marcy.
(I esp. love the fridge photo – I need to check out the frige project next).
Cheers!
I love it! I left cameras all over Alaska last year and got a few in trade as well. Your stories are so good and make me want to travel more and more. I have loved Junk Store Cameras since day 1 and will be a fan for life!
