[email protected] ESTATE CAMERA COLLECTION I have been entrusted with over 1,000 (yes, that’s one thousand) cameras plus projectors, flash bulbs, magic lanterns and more – before you ask, there are no Leica’s as far as I know. These items range from the sublime (a reconnaissance camera from a Lancaster bomber) to the ridiculous (a hot pink Barbie Polaroid) and getting them photographed and listed on either eBay or in my Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/rgwriter?section_id=7253390) is going to take a while. The gentleman who assembled this collection chose pieces in good shape and gently cleaned them with compressed air and a soft cloth. Many might benefit from your detailed attention but I’ve left them as is rather than risk damaging them in any way. These lovely things are truly works of art and to feel a 70+-year-old shutter click over solidly is, to me, technically amazing. I feel extremely privileged to have the opportunity to see and handle each and every one of them. While in most cases I will not be running film through them due to the sheer volume of cameras, I will check to see that the shutter fires, parts move if they are supposed to, and things appear to be as they should. How does it works if you want to buy something? Let me know what item(s) interest you -- please include the box number with the item if you can.
