    Well I've spent a couple hours today getting my cameras ready. Which means cleaning them like a dentist with solutions, swabs, picks, fiberglass brushes, prayer *LOL*, etc..They are going to be entered into the collectors competition at the State Fair of Texas in October. I have three cameras, the max entry, all going back before the 1930's. One of which is a camera that our good friend talley from Wisconsin sent me. I hope to do well as this is my first go with any of my collection. Now topping over 35 cameras. I'll know by late Sept if I won or got an honorable mention...wish me luck for going down tomorrow and submitting my cameras to the fussy old ladies in charge...*LOL*

    Sincerely,

    How awesome Travis, please let us know how it turns out. You'll probably get lots of inquiries and meet some great people who are camera collectors like yourself. I think this is the best part that you'll come away with much more than your beautiful camera collection you'll meet some people you can net work with too who share your same enthusiasm.

    Well thanks to ya'll for the wishes. I'm hoping even for a Honorable Mention. There are people who do this all the time and scour the antique shows for the best. I usually just come accross ones that strike me as good finds. But we'll see and if anything I get to chat up the old ladies..

    Sincerely,
