Hmmm the big question is - would you open it?

Very oddly, I’m attracted to lot #13: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/88394210_leica-iii-model-f

Yes, certainly, and I would use it. It seems a shame not to use it. To me, there is no mystical value in an object not being used for its intended purpose.

But it is not in "A+" condition, as claimed; the lubricants have dried out at the very least.

the lubricants are not the camera... What a great gift box. I gotta say, i love the package.
