Cameras too, I think. I still love to use my father's 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 Voigtlander Bergheil. As well as some WWII and lots of family pictures, I've got many film pack negatives he shot with it (& Kalart Speed Flash) of student life when he was attending the Chicago College of Optometry, so I know a lot of images went through that Heliar. Thanks for sharing your history.
