I'm Cam, and I've been collecting old and unusual cameras for more than 35 years.
Like most camera collectors, over the years, I've tended to pick up decorative items related to my collection, things like china figurines, toys, cartoon characters with cameras, even camera related clothing items.
That's the collection you'll find here... Come on in by using the letters in the title above! Sorry, nothing here is for sale...
What's new...

Be sure to hit "refresh" on any pages you visit if you've been here before. Holy Cow I actually updated the site. It's been almost two years! Apologies in advance. Tons of new stuff... two Christmases worth of presents, and almost two years worth of garage saleing and junk shop browsing.

I've changed the thumbnails to remove the little 35mm slide frames. Don't ask. It's a long story. :-) Also, I've added a whole pile of new items to most categories. They're added to the top of the thumbnail columns so they're easy to spot. Have fun. :-)

Sunday. Dec. 3, 2000...
Well, this whole website has just been redone. Frames is the answer to slow loading thumbnails. Also, the cool new way of accessing the various sections of the site... through the letters of the title frame across the top. Play around and have fun. There are two or three sections that have no content yet... but I'll soon be adding more than a hundred new items... so come back again and try all sections. Thanks are due to Alex my compu-whiz son... who not only provided me with the framework for the new format site, but provided us with our first granddaughter just over a month ago! (Ok, he had a little help from his partner Candy.) We're thrilled to have little Aislyn our newest member of the McCubbin family!
