Vintage Cameras-a hobby and a collection!

I love vintage cameras. I have a nice little collection of cameras. Some are SLR's, some are Polaroids, and some are Range Finders and some are older. They range from the 1910's up to the 80's and 90's. Some have great stories, some come from family, some from strangers. Here are some of my faves.

This is a Kodak Vest Pocket camera. This camera was very popular with soldiers in WW1 because of it's small size, especially when it is folded closed. I got this from a woman who answered a post I put out in a group on Facebook looking for vintage cameras. She said she had a bunch of cameras that used to belong to her Grandfather and Father. She said that her Grandfather was in fact in WW1, but she didn't know if he had this during the war. I like to this it was. The camera is in great shape, the hinges and bellows are in amazing shape for it's age.

This is an Kodak Six 20 Brownie Junior that was a Christmas present from my son Justin. It is an extra special camera to me because it was made in Canada in 1932 (as you can see from the inside label which in amazing shape). It has been along time since anything like this has been made in Canada.

My first "Range Finder" camera. It needs a little cleaning and needs new seals inside. I hope to get it fixed so I can try it and see what kind of pictures I can get with it.

This is a Falcon Miniature camera. I got this from a woman at work, it was part of a collection she gave me that belonged to her husband's brother. It is made of "Bakelite" and was made in 1939 by the Utility Manufacturing Company. I love how small it is, the medicine bottle was used in this photo to give scale for the size of the camera.


These are just a few of my favourite cameas in my collection. I may post more in another post in the future.
