Good Morning Friends, Today I want to share hubby's camera collection. Hope you enjoy!
Hubby calls this camera his 8x10 Ansel Adams camera. He started collecting antique cameras back in Ca.; when we moved here he added more. This expands out 28"; it is such a beauty. We've never found a tripod big enough to hold it, but love to display it.
On the left is an old folding camera with bellows, circa 1920's. On the right is an old movie camera-with the case.
The box camera on the left is a 50th Anniversary camera made by Kodak; circa 1930's.
This movie camera on the left is a hand crank projector, the name says Pathe Baby; he doesn't know the age. We also received an old black and white Mikey Mouse movie that you can watch. This was one of the coolest items in his collection. The box camera on the right was hubby's grandmother's; when he got it there was still film in it, we had it developed and the photos went in the genealogy books.
We have 16 mm and 8 mm projectors as well; it is so fun to watch movies from our childhood on these.
Another folding camera with bellows.
This is the first house that we can really display them and I love it. Of course, most antiques are treasures. I hope you've enjoyed seeing hubby's collection.
Another note about today is that 40 years ago, my mother passed away. I miss her and the relationship we could have had as I matured. If you've got parents still living, cherish every moment.
Joy to you!
Noreen
