This would have been fun to have.  Love old cameras, and love the idea of finding a hidden part of history even more.

It must have been nerve wrecking developing such an old film. I found that old film tend to under develop and with a low contrast. It is interesting to see how long term radiation etc attacked the (film) images.

Talk about a find, well the photos still showed some of the cameras history.  I'm sure the processing had to have had it's challenges.  Good job.

I have a few exposed rolls of film nearing forty years unprocessed. Going to take some in soon as I'm not going to set up my lab again. Might be interesting....

Why so serious?
