for you photo history buffs...

My dad purchased this camera in Korea in 1953 and used it to document his army days.

What's the thing sticking out? I love the look of those cameras, very cool.

Sid, it's an automatic timer.

Cool pic too!

It's a very simplistic timer. It screw-mounts onto the shutter release button, you spin the flag up and release and it unwinds like a pull toy mechanism and triggers the shutter in about 10 seconds.
