Just saw a beautiful old camera display at the library in Springfield

They had a whole case of cameras from the 1920s to the 1950s. I was staring at this one Kodak folding camera for ten minutes, just looking at the bellows. They looked perfect, no light leaks or cracks at all. It's so cool to see gear that old still holding up. Has anyone else found a local spot with a surprisingly good camera collection?

My local museum's collection is just my own dusty gear in a drawer.

Call that the "personal history" wing and charge admission.

Wait, @grant.margaret, is that a full-on museum or just a dusty shoebox under your bed? Either way, sounds like a solid collection to me.
