I have several boxes of old cameras that belonged to my Father. Most appear to be 40's-50's vintage. My Father was a photographer during WW2 and continued into the mid 50's. Almost everything is old sheet film, 4X5 and 3X4. Graflex Press camera with Kalart viewfinder, several flash units, sheet film holders, tripods lenses and the works. I really have no idea if any of it has any value and don't really want to research it because I'd first have to learn what it all is and I just am not interested or have the time. So, the question I pose to y'all, what do I do with all this stuff? It would kill me to put it out for the trash because I know my father valued it. It will also pain me to continue to keep it and having disposal of it become another burden on my wife when I go. Don't particularly want to pack it all up and ship it to someone, either. It may be junk when it arrives, but hell, it may be junk now, as well. Anyhow, I need to be thinning my possessions and this may be a good place to start. Any suggestions?
