Auctioneers Note: This amazing collection will astound you as it has us. Many camera collectors across the country knew Bill Franko. He served as the past president of the Western Reserve Camera Collector's Society here in Cleveland and he amassed what is without a doubt the largest collection/accumulation of cameras, film making equipment, small to large format, lenses, tripods, etc. that we have ever seen in one spot. This multi-hundred lot auction could easily suffice as an entire camera show that would be more than worthwhile to travel to from anywhere in the world, literally! This will be a live auction that is open to the public. Floor bidding, absentee bidding and internet bidding will be available.
My only connection is that I have met the son of the deceased collector and know the person making the catalog.
