I know this is a large set to post at once, but I've spent quite a lot of time shooting and identifying each camera. I started collecting these back in the 70's - mostly from garage sales and such. My wife recently found a box of these that I thought had been lost. That is the main reason I wanted to catalog these. A few came from my family. Two still had film in them! I will be getting one of the rolls processing to see what shows up.
Part of my glass insulator collection showing the variety of shapes and colors on display in five different lighted cabinets. I've been a serious glass insulator collector for nearly 50 years finding my very first insulator around 1967-68.
Glass insulators were first produced in the 1840's to support telegraph lines. Later as time went on they were used for telephone lines and power lines which included street lighting, street railways, trolleys, and interurban lines. Also used for fire and police alarm circuits and even electric fencing. Along railroads glass insulators were used for telegraph, telephone, signaling, and power use. Basically any electric line that was needed for support from insulators to prevent electrical leakage.
When there was no longer a demand for glass pin-type insulators In North America, the last of the glass insulators were produced in 1978 by the Kerr Glass Plant located in Dunkirk, Indiana.
Looks better in large.
A pocket knife out of Herbertz Top Collection, 523311.
This has seen some use...
It came with some accessories, a nice plastic transportation box and the depicted nylon holster - which is actually a useless accessory in Germany, because:
As this is a one-hand operated knife with a locking blade (liner lock, btw.), it may not be carried in Germany. It may be "transported" in that box, though.

My half-baked attempt at some studio lighting with a mix of incan bulbs, neutral tint LED, halogen, and high CRI LED. Sadly, I do not have the proper gear yet, for shooting this the right way.
Large size will give you some better detail:
Gabriel Metsu (1629-1667), The Cello Player, c. 1658.
The British royal family owns one of the finest collections of Old Master paintings in the world. Museum Mauritshuis The Hague presents paintings from this famous Royal Collection, held in trust by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. All paintings by Dutch artists of the Golden Age.

Here in Germany there is money to be made by scouring litter bins looking for discarded glass/plastic bottles and tin cans, as 99% of them have deposit value on them.
The deposits can range from 8 cents to 25 cents depending on the type of container.
During my breaks at motorway services in my truck I often see guys going around the huge dome shaped litter bins with torches & grab sticks fishing out the 'money'.
When I spotted this woman doing the rounds I turned around and beat her to the next bin, set up my shot and simply waited.
Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

A collection of Hewlett Packard 15C calculators. From top left: an original 15C made in USA in 1982; a more used 1988 USA made version (one of the last original 15C's); China made 'Limited Edition' version made in 2011 (timed with the 30th anniversary of the financial version, the 12C); and the latest 'Collectors Edition' made in the Phillipines in 2023.
The Hewlett Packard 15C was the most powerful of the Voyager series of HP calculators. It was originally produced between 1982 and 1989. It was highly capable for such a small machine, programmable with numeric integration, root solver, matrices and complex maths.
Whilst its financial sibling, the 12C, has remained in continuous production since 1981, the 15C was dropped in favour of the Pioneer series of calculators in 1989.
I’ve been taking too many flower pics, so decided to put some of them together. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
And that´s it for 2015. It´s time for another year review!
This year I made 48 MOCs, an improvement compared to previous years (16 in 2012, 24 in 2013, 32 in 2014).
When 2015 began, my faction ground forces, the Esthian Army, only had three vehicles, but now I have a powerful Army with over 30 different vehicles.
In 2015 I participated directly in over 7 different Events, including my first participation at the Skaerbaek Fan Weekend Event, in Denmark.
I was also invited by Embraer (4th biggest aircraft Manufacture in the world) to build a replica of their new KC-390 cargo plane and to show all the planes that I made so far in their main facility in Portugal.
All of these Events required extensive/expensive travels and parts acquisitions, which were in part funded by the Events. Due to this and the large increase in commission projects that I received this year, I was able for the first time in my life to end the year with money on my pockets! :D
This year I was able to accept the following commissions:
Four F-16s (two Portuguese, one Greek and one Belgian request);
One Fiat G-91 R/3
Four Bismarck battleships
Two Canarias Heavy Cruisers
Four Embraer KC-390
I´m really sorry for everyone who asked me for other commissions but it was simply impossible for me to build them all.
I also had another MOC published on the Brothers Brick blog, the Battleship Missouri!
I hope you have enjoyed all my works and I hope that I can count with your support again next year.

Somehow I have acquired a typewriter collection, lol. From the left...a resin typewriter, slightly large for 1/6 but still acceptable; a pencil sharpener also shaped like a typewriter, good scale for 1/6, has real paper that says Barbie on it; vintage Tammy typewriter from the Private Secretary and School Daze sets; 1/12th typewriter.
The carte de visite or visiting cards were the social media of the latter part of the 19th century. The cards generally measured 4 inches by 2 inches and consisted of a photo placed on a paper card. People collected and exchanged them. The photography shop often had an ad on the back of the card. A collection of 19th century selfies! HMM everyone!
I always thought that Athena was the most realistic-looking doll I had, until I put her next to someone like Alice. Alice is so realistic it's kind of scary, and I love it. Alice still has the same amount of hair that she did before, it's just saran so it lays a whole better and creates more realistic styles. Athena has been done for a solid six months now, I just never uploaded another photo of her past the first one I did. :P I love both of these ladies so much and they're fantastic! I hope we get so many more film collection dolls in the future!
I collect two different things Nail Polish and Smurfs and to be honest my polishcollection is impossible to show in a photo but not my Smurf collection :)
