Slightly OT - Need some help with an old camera

[mla973]

Well, actually a lot of old cameras. I am assisting in cleaning out my grandfather's house, and found several boxes of old camera, camcorders, and accessories. They are probably 40-50+ years old and maybe worth some money. I would like to sell them on eBay (and give the money to my grandfather for his hospital bills). Any suggestions on finding out about the cameras. They say the obvious brand name on the camera itself, but I don't know anything about the model, what format camera it is, etc.

I know this is not a typical question for these boards, but I'm not sure where to turn. Are there maybe websites that could direct me to identifying what they are/how much they're worth, or should I try a specialty camera store?

TIA!
