I searched the forum and didn't come up with anything referring to the following site, so I figured I'd share the link with ya'll. It's a pretty interesting collection of large format cameras, a number of which are linked to pdf files that provide a closer look at the linked specimens:
ANTIQUE CAMERAS D. Tristram Ludwig (http://www.dtristramludwig.com/collection.html)
You might also want to have a look at Ludwig's home page (http://www.dtristramludwig.com/home.html).
Enjoy!

Woo-Hoo! What a treasure trove.
I particularly love the Kodak Kerosene safelight, (it never occured to me how they developed by inspection in the days before electric lights).

Problem is they just sit there and collect dust. A camera that isn't used is just a waste.

No, a camera that isn't used, and is thrown away or allowed to deteriorate is a waste. A collector preserving them and learning about them, and posting pictures with information for everyone to use, is doing a lot more than most.
that is incredible. I was recently at the center for alternative photography in nyc, they have an impressive collection of petzvals, large plate cameras and in general lenses. they had a cabinet with probably 100 vintage lenses and the owner told me his personal collection is in the 100s.
incredible.
