My brother gave me this great Rolleicord for Christmas. He fixed one of the mirrors but it's supposed to be in working condition. I think it's a Rolleicord IIc model 4 from around 1946. The serial number is #1077616 and the Zeiss Triotar lens has a serial number of #3127655.
Another cool thing is that the case has a previous owner's name and address on it. It looks like the camera spent part of its life in Belgium. It's a little hard to read but I think the label says:
Peeters. J
30 Av Edouard
Lacomblé
ETTERBEEK
Plus the exposure table on the back of the camera is in French.
In other words, the owner lived or worked in Etterbeek, Belgium on Avenue Edouard Lacomblé, 30. Through the power of Google Maps, I can even see the building (assuming the address numbering hasn't changed since the camera case was marked) which now houses a doctor's office and CEFS (Le Centre d'Etudes de la Famille et des Systèmes). I wonder how in the world the camera ended up in Pennsylvania? I know how it got to California.
