Just a few of them that were interesting. Lots of film SLR's. Does that make you feel old?:):)

Great set. I was pleased to see the Brownie Bullseye, since I picked one up a few years ago to add to my bakelite collection.
It came in unused condition in pristine box with the flash attachment and bulbs intact. I paid $12 for it at an antique store.

It must be awful being as old as you are Erv, having to admit to recognising these ancient, junky old cameras and stuff. Are you the very, very oldest on this forum Erv, or does it just appear you are the very, very oldest. I must admit, your avatar looks like something out of the Arc but some people photoshop stuff to make photographs look antique and stuff. Your moustache is a bit of a give-away, it's very, very Wild Bill Hickock-ish, isn't it ?. And he's no spring chicken. Have you got any photo's of yourself in a covered wagon or anything else like that maybe in tights like Robin Hood used to wear.Men look so strong and powerful in tights. I love seeing pictures of wild west fromtiers-men, Davy Crokatt, jim Bowie Lone Ranger, Glen Campbell, The Rhinestone Cowboy, etc etc. Have a peaceful Sunday Erv.
PS Don't forget to see if you have any old pictures of yourself in tights or raggy, well worn vests or long johns like old cowboys used to wear in your era.

Mine also. My next one was a Kowa SE bought in Hong Kong in 1963. Used it for 15 years until it was stolen.

Speaking of old. About 6 or 7 years my grand daughter asked me -What year was I born in" When I told her, her response was " were there dinosaurs then?

We were sitting at the dinner table one evening when my son asked what was something that was invented after I was born. I said the television, we didn't have one until I was 8. His response was "what did you play your Nintendo on"?

They had a lot of them there. But most were pretty used. I still have the 4 I use to play with. But I collet way to much stuff already.:):)
