It's taking pictures Tom! Brassing as a sure sign the camera has been used to
take pictures, a rare situation and highly desirable! The insides are not all
dried up perhaps.

I wonder if that 3M green abrasive stuff comes in the form of gloves!?
One could wear those gloves shoot a roll of film and your camera could look like
it belonged to Josef Koudelka!
Or an otherwise real photographer!
