Having just completed a mail order course on how to control new and contemporary GAS, I have turned to admiring old cameras and stuff. Is this just another variety of GAS or is it a new version of an old illness?
Collect what?

I think it would be a great idea, even I sold my collection I am still interested what's out there. Here are few pictures of my former collection. The first camera is a Schmid Patent detective camera, this was the first patent handheld camera, Patent date 1883, only a few are still in existence, the second picture shows the shutter assembly.
You have a great collection. I had two boxes of old cameras I had picked up through the years. When I went up to my attic get one of the cameras one box was missing. A while back I had new insolation put in my attic. I guess one of the workers walked of with it.

Would love to see one. I have cameras dating back to about 1888 that I'm going to start to unload as the children have no interest. I also have some lenses that predate that. There is 5"X7" view, camera's bellows is shot, but it has a very unusual pneumatic shutter that still works up to this day. From the story that the owner told me, her Father was in the military and used it during the occupation of the Philippines after the Spanish American War.

I apologize for not being more clear. I was referring to older cameras and related photo equipment.
