Welcome to my personal collection of antique cameras.

If you’ve found my site, perhaps you’re an aficionado of early photography or maybe a collector of photographica yourself.  If so, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to become familiar with some fine examples of pre-1900 cameras that I’m fortunate to own.   

I’m not displaying cameras for commercial purposes.  I just want to share some representative pieces spanning some important periods in photographic history:  Cameras obscura, wet-plates, multi-lens cameras, dry plates, and George Eastman’s historic No.1 Kodak film camera.  Alas, nothing Daguerrean, so far, but I’m proud of what I’ve collected.

I don’t purport to be an expert on antique cameras.  I’m just a curious guy who loves the early years of camera evolution … studying, learning, and occasionally buying magnificent wooden and brass cameras that “catch my eye”!  I hope you enjoy!
