Flocon RF 222

This was the second Diana-clone camera I had. But, I ended up selling this one on eBay because I only bought it for the investment of selling it.

A picture of the old Diana-clone camera I found in 2010 at the antique store downtown. I paid $2 for it and then turned around and sold it almost immediately for $53 on eBay. But, not before I ran two rolls of film through it - one in color and one in black and white.

Despite what the name says on his apron, this is really Big John. He's a big, 3-story tall metal statue that started out as the mascot in front of the Big John chain of grocery stores. He stood in front of the one in Carmi for decades before the company sold out the chain and it was done away with. This new grocery store brought Big John out of retirement, gave him some fresh paint and named him the "Little Giant." But, for those of us who have lived here in Southern Illinois most of our lives, he will always be remembered as "Big John."
