Rare 4 digit phone number paper bag

When my mum did her cleaning up at home, she across a big bunch of vintage paper bags left a in a cupboard which is owned by my grandmother. To my excitement, I did a quick browse through all the paper bags, hoping to find some rare advertisements printed on the paper bags. During the search, my eyes were suddenly captured by the number of digits of the telephone number. I was really surprised to see 4 digit phone number printed on the paper bags. 4 digit phone number on paper bags does mean it is old and also very rare to get one. An easy guess, all of these paper bags could be from the late 50s or early 60s.

Konica Autoreflex T2 is not really a popular camera in the past unlike Canon or Nikon. One feature of this camera which I like the most is the solid metal finishing. It makes the camera looks more vintage and older feel.  The front view of the camera This camera also comes with 1.4 57mm Hexanon lens which takes good and clear pictures. Hexanon lens are known for it's quality and sharpness.  Camera like this are less expensive compared to Nikon F2, Nikon FE and Canon A1. The price range for a Konica Autoreflex T2 is about 200 SGD around that pricing.  The Konica lens cap is very flimsy and it can drop off anytime. This is one of the cons of the camera plus it is super heavy too.   The camera is so crafted well until it looks like a leica
