This collection of eight cameras includes a variety of rare and antique cameras going all the way back to the 1890s. One of the cameras is an Olympus Stylus Deluxe, an incredibly popular brand of camera produced in Japan in the 1990s. Olympus cameras from this time period frequently sell for well over $100 today. Another gem from the collection is the brownie camera, one of the most popular cameras in America in the early 1900s due to its cheap price and easy portability. The collection also includes two Instamatic cameras from the 1960s and a Pocket Kodak Series II from the 1920s/30s. The final camera in the collection is a Pony Premo Camera from the 1890s. The camera is an antique folding camera and still contains some slides for taking pictures.
