Around 10 years ago, Katie Rose Williams purchased a 1962 Bencini Koroll II camera from a charity shop in the Conwy area of Wales.
The 28-year-old bought the camera while still at college and discovered a bunch of lost family photos on the film inside.
Her photography tutor helped her print them out, but at the time she put them to one side and ended up forgetting all about them.
She recently uncovered the pictures once more and is now hoping to be able to reunite them with their rightful owner, reports The Daily Post.
Katie, from Rhyl, said: "I bought the camera at least a decade ago now when I was still in college in Rhos-On-Sea.
"I found it in a nearby charity shop one day and didn't think much of it.
"Luckily that day my photography tutor noticed the camera and asked if he could check if there was still film inside and there was.
"It was a medium format camera so it wasn't a straight forward process but it was lucky that he didn't mind developing them for me because now we have the photos."
She goes on to say that she thinks she got the camera from a charity shop in either Llandudno or Rhos-On-Sea.
A number of the old images have recently been shared to Facebook in a bid to try and find whoever took them and return them.
Katie adds that she wishes she had thought of this idea sooner.
There are currently 13 snaps on her Facebook appeal, with one of the images appearing to show a visit to Stonehenge.
Others capture candid family moments in what look to be holiday memories - as well as a potential wedding.
One Facebook user commented on Katie's Facebook post to say that the pictures look like they "must be at least 40 years" old, adding "I live in North Wales, but none of the locations seem familiar at all."
More of the images can be found in Katie's appeal on Facebook here.
