Drag to set position!
I am retiring to Mexico full time. I have to sell my whole collection in full or in part. If there is anything you are interested in please let me know! If you know someone that is interested let me know.
I have been collecting items in original boxes since 1979. My collection contains a wonderful mix of photographic related items representing the evolution of equipment and marketing of the Eastman Kodak Company over 120 years. In the beginning I decided to buy items only if they were in their original boxes to limit the number of items I could acquire. Eventually, I decided to buy advertising items to complement the photographic equipment which helped me to create more visually pleasing exhibits. To this day I only buy cameras and accessories in original boxes. Parts of my collection of thousands of items have been exhibited in the California Museum of Photography, the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles, the Seattle Convention Center and the George Eastman House in Rochester. I have created set of these exhibits and information can also be found on my website.
I am trying to make my flickr site a place to find out information concerning the history of photography, and to that end I will try to post historical information as I discover it. Mainly slanted towards what I like to collect but hopefully interesting none the less. Feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks for your time. Charlie

Charlie just might be the pre-eminent Kodak collector in North America, maybe the universe! The extent of his collection is mind-boggling: cameras in original boxes, ephemera, correspondence, vintage photos, Kodak sponsored stock cars, toys, gadgets. You name it. While researching Kodak cameras and products, Charlie has always generously allowed me access to his collection with a warehouse of information and examples unequaled this side of the George Eastman House. Over the years we've become good buddies, and we always manage to work in a fun-filled lunch or dinner into every visit. Thanks, Charlie.
