RE: re: unexpected camera source

There is a local (edible) nut company here in Minneapolis, Midwest Northern.
They sell nuts in plastic bags and, especially for the holidays, they sell
decorative gift tins to put the nuts in. Or, you can just buy the tins.
Prices range from 75 cents up to a couple of dollars. I have thiry
single-shot 5x7 cameras made from their tins, and have used scores more for
pinhole workshops. Maybe there is a place like this lurking in your town!
