Tower Bellows Model 51 Folding

I was over at my moms house today, and looking through and old dresser of mine there, when I came upon this. It was my first camera. My dad had gone to a second hand store and had come home with an arm full of cameras...and said "take your pick". I of course chose this one since it looked both old and "cool". Well I soon found out it had a hole in the bellows, you can see where I taped it up with electrical tape. I didn't clean it off much before I took these pics...I kind of wanted it to look sort of as I found it. It had 2 settings:Bulb and 1/50 but it had a shoe for a flash, which I never used since I didn't have one then. I did take quite a few pics with it...I'll have to find some...it took wonderful pics for a fixed focus camera. Funny what you find sometimes when you aren't really looking. Thanks to Tom at http://www.dangphoto.net for providing a model number.
