Dave's Camera Collection

THIS PAGE IS (hopefully) ALWAYS

Dave's interest in collecting cameras actually began when his Aunt Ruth Leber gave him an old Keystone 8mm movie camera (which he remembers using as a child, and which was used to make all of our home movies). He picked up an old Kodak folder shortly after that, and his search was under way.

Below is a list of the cameras in Dave's collection as of 19 April 1999. It is published from a more extensive data base that includes additional information on these cameras. Many have accessories, cases, original boxes, etc.

We are using a rather simple classification system for the condition:
    MC=Mint condition (No defects, no scratches; as close to new condition as is possible.)
    EC=Excellent condition (May have a few very minor scratches in the finish, or leather; otherwise looks beautiful.)
    GC=Good condition (Shows normal wear for a camera of its age; it's been used, but it's not beat up. May have brassing or brights.)
    FC=Fair condition (Used a lot. Not suitable for display.)
    PC=Poor condition (Could also stand for Parts Camera. 'Nuf said!)
There are a number of classification systems that are in use by camera collectors. Most give a greater range of classification. We use the Notes column in our data base to give explanatory details of a particular camera's condition.
