All:
Above all, I consider myself a camera user ... not a camera
collector. However, there seems to be a bit of "collector" in all of us...
Back in January, I told the story of my Beauty Six, which turned out
to be one of only two surviving examples known in the world.
Well, it turned out, that I had two other, fairly rare cameras ... a
French-made Sept, 35mm still/cine camera that doubled as a contact
printer and movie/slide projector; from 1923 or so, and a Birnbaum,
Novo Perforetta - a Czech made camera, from the late 1930's. The
Birnbaum never was much of a camera, and the example I have has been
badly damaged - though, in my own defense, I would like to point out
that this was done long before I came into possession of it!
For those who are curious about such things, Camerapedia pages on all
three are now up.
