antique 8mm camera values?

[KenH]

New here, not as much of a shutterbug as I once was, but I do enjoy photography. My real purpose here is what I found in my Mom's attic, that once belonged to my stepdad (now deceased). I'm not really looking to sell anything yet, but wonder if there's any collector value to these items. If I'm posting this in the wrong area, please move it to the correct one.

1- Wollensak Model 23 8mm turret camera. It has the original box, as well as the plain brown cardboard shipping box, all in as-new condition. I also have the brown leather carrying case, owner's manual, a packet of lens filters, wrist strap that screws into the tripod mount. The camera winds and works, although I haven't tried to find film for it (still available??)

2- Revere Model 261 8mm magazine camera, with case. I have the original box, which is in very good condition, camera and case look brand new, and it also works. The case on this camera is a heavy plastic, has a latch at the top, when you release it, the case splits down the middle and each half hangs from a bottom piece which is screwed to the tripod mount.

My guess is these came from the mid to late 50's, maybe early 60's?

So, should I take them to Antiques Roadshow, or am I wasting my time?

A quick check of ebay shows most 8mm cameras, if they sell, are going for about $5-$10.
Projectors seem to be the hotter items - fetching, maybe $20. You migh have to wait for the 2100 season of the Antiques Roadshow.

I reckon the one from my parent's house is worth more as a bookend than any cash value.

Like picman said, they are only worth a few dollars.
