I found this really old sign in an antique store in Wilmington IL. The owner goes to England twice a year to buy lots and goes to auctions and brought this beauty with him! I love collecting old camera memorabilia and started a website to share my knowledge as well as hoping people will share their knowledge with me!

You have a really nice website! Maybe someday I'll have my own site for showing off my cameras too!
@John - How many cameras do you have??? And what is your favorite?? Thanks! The website gets updated often because I can't stop buying things!! LOL
I have somewhere around 220 cameras. I have lots of favorites - it's just about impossible to pick just one! I have posted most of my favorites here at CW. You can see them here:
