Wayne, the stereo items were very inexpensive here till the internet was established. Almost nobody knew what to do with "double pictures", or strange wooden boxes with eyeglasses. One got only the pictures, the other only the viewer. I once bought a 1925 spyglass-shaped busch-stereoscope for ca. 1,50.- USD, because the seller told me this is a broken-down spyglass. The stereo cards ( lots of them from the 19th century ) sold 20 years ago for less then 10.- Cents per piece. Today they are sold between 2 and 10 USD. I had taken stereo pictures by myself with two identical Chinon SLR`s, a double cable release and a water level, and viewed the slides with two slide projectors and a polarization filter. I have twelve aerial cameras in my collection, from german and american WWII to Nato-Starfighter. One russian has even a heatable lens !

Mark, you are always welcome ! ( there is no admission ;) ) And you always will get a cup of coffee, or a glass of beer.

Hi Randy ! The good thing about dusting the collection twice a year is, that you can wind up and release every camera, so they dont get stuck over the years. 99 percent are working.

No burden is heavier than a great potential.

Is there a better word than remarkable? That is the biggest collection I've ever seen outside of a museum!

Wow!! :o
