Pentax History

Since 1919

Camera Museum - 126 Cameras

Welcome to Mr. Martin's Web Site. You will find a museum with vintage computers, calculators, cameras, bicycles, typewriters, cars and other technology. The museum includes over 800 items including about 350 cameras, 150 calculators, 120 typewriters, 50 bicycles, 50 computers, and 70 "other technology" items including phones, televisions, phonographs and radios. Items date from the late 19th century to today. The museum has had over 3 million page views since it was started in 2004. Check back to the site now and then. I occassionally add items. Most of the items are purchased at garage sales or through Craigslist or eBay. A few of the items are things I purchased new. A few of the items are also donations.

The main feature of this site (eventually) will be a virtual museum of Classic & Antique Cameras and related Photographic Ephemera.

The photographs on this initial page are just intended to give an overview of the type of antique and classic cameras that the site will eventually feature, concentrating on the period from the 1880s through to the 1930s (rollfilm and plate cameras).
