Hello Susan,
I don't know if these two items are related,but....
I found this info in the McKeown '97-'98 book. I couldn't find the
Chesterfield camera (do you have a brandname of camera mgr?), but DID
find a Lucky Strike "spy" camera made for the US Army Signal Corp (1950).
The last known HIGH sale was $30,000. I'd advise NOT selling until you
know exactly what you have.
good luck,
Brad
