Here are just a select few folders from my camera collection. No.2 Folding Autographic Brownie (1915-16) This model itself was produced from 1915-26, but the square edges of the casing dates this camera at around 1915-16. They changed to rounder edges after 1917.  Hosted on FotkiKodak Six-16 Folding Camera 1932-37. Many variations of this camera were made.  Hosted on FotkiAnsco No.1a Readyset Royals 1928-32. First one is the Silver Fox and the second one is the Ostrich Skin. These were made to be in direct competition with the colored Kodaks at the time.  Hosted on Fotki Hosted on FotkiNo.1A Folding Pocket Kodak Model C 1906-09.  Hosted on FotkiNo.3 Folding Pocket Kodak Model C-5 1908-09. I believe this model had the most model variations produced out of all the Kodaks.  Hosted on FotkiNo.1A Poclet Kodak 1926-32. The A stands for Autographic as this was one of several Kodak cameras that used the special Autographic film at the time.  Hosted on FotkiI'm Not really much into the Polaroid cameras, but two of my favourites would include the Polaroid 95 series in which I have the 95B and my other favourite would be the Polaroid 80 series in which I have the Polaroid 80A. Fact about the 80A is that it was used to take the famous photo of JFK seconds after he was shot.  Hosted on Fotki Hosted on FotkiDerek |

Very nicely done, Derek. The Agfa-Ansco cameras are favorites of mine. I do not have the Brownie in my collection. Are they red leather bellows?
I too use Fotki, thanks to Phil. Do you have a link?

David The Brownie? I take it you mean the first camera I posted? No it has black bellows. ****EDIT**** Sorry, I think I may have misread your post. I believe the red bellowed cameras are leather yes. I'm not for sure certain, but I'm thinking they are. |

The Brownie's bellows looked reddish on my iPad. If the red bellows are original, they are all chromate tanned red leather from Russis. Kodak stopped importing the red leather in 1912. We had an earlier thread on cleaning and preserving bellows, especially the red leather ones. If they haven't been ruined by well meaning owners, they can be restored to brilliant red. Similarly the black bellows are treated the same.

Interesting, I'll have to look into that. |

A lovely selection of folders. You appear to take great care in selecting models for your collection.

I usually collect most cameras up to about the mid 60's. Box cameras, folders, bakelite, art deco, tlrs....etc. I've been collecting for just over a year so far |

I've been collecting a couple of years now - almost anything coming my way - mostly 1954 to 1957 but I'm stretching that a bit. Some stuff must go.
Out of interest where are you based?

I think we have a serious collector here who is not just interested in gathering a bunch of old cameras to distribute on liveroom tables, but someone interested in the history of photographic technology.

David Thanks David I just love finding all sorts of different models and reading up on them, the different designs, why they were designed the way they were. As well as reading about the history on them, the big sellers, the failures, the rare ones, the models that tie into the JFK Assasination, as well as the history on the camera companies themselves, etc......I could go on. Haha |
