For the last 15 years or so, I have concentrated my camera collecting on one specific category; Pre-1900 wooden view cameras made in the United States and they must be 4x5 or smaller in size. Ideal candidates for my collection are quarter plate cameras of the 1880's and 1890's by the likes of Scovill, Anthony, Blair, Rochester Optical, Horsman, American Optical, as well as more uncommon or unknown makers of the dry plate period. Below are a few of the cameras in my collection.
