The Awakening of the Agfa Box I

I never really “bought“ this camera. I can’t say that is mine. The Agfa Box I was in my family since I can remember. This german camera was sold since 1930 to 1933 and I have no idea when or how my great-grandfather got this one. I know that this camera took pictures of my grandmother when she was a child and a teenager. I learn to recognize Agfa’s pictures in my family’s photo albums and because of this I was able to see that in the late 50s or early 60s this camera was replaced for a new model. Two years ago I asked my brother about the camera -assuming that it was broken- but he had it. After checking the camera I confirmed that it worked. It just needed some cleaning.
