Dear Curta friends,
Just discovered this nice forum.
I am located in Bogotá (Colombia) and I have a very small collection of Curtas.
Thank you for sharing all this interesting information here!

Greetings Eliseo, did you find your Curtas locally?

la Curta de Cucuta




in the early fifties this Curta was bought in Cucuta, Columbia - locally Smile

Greetings from Switzerland



(PS: no chance to display the letter u with acute accent - in the name cucuta )

I looked that up on your website, la Curta de Cúcuta, fabulous.

I've lived in Colombia for nearly three years, and travelled all over South America. I always try to have a rummage in the flea markets and antique shops but have yet to spot a Curta. I had high hopes in Uruguay, but no joy.

I think that some local knowledge would help so I'm wondering whether Eliseo has any useful pointers!

Smiths, I am from Spain and have been living here for few years... I never found nothing interesting in the flea markets. My curtas are from Spain, France, NZ, US, GB...

Murff, "La Curta de Cúcuta!" what a nice piece!. Love your webpage... the best curta pics ever.

Eliseo

Two Curta collectors in Bogotá, who would have thought it! I also have 3 x Type I and 2 x Type II.

That sounds like a nice idea! I have sent you a message.

I saw a Facit C1-13 for sale in Usaquén last week but it was in poor condition and the trader wanted far too much for it. I still keep looking though...

Out of curiosity, how much would you be willing to pay for a working Facit C1-13?

In very good working condition, 30-40 quid. Feller in Usaquén wanted the equivalent of £35 and his was knackered, kept jamming.

That sounds about right - the postage from the UK probably removes that option...
