You should make a trip to Charleston, West Virginia. There is a mansion there, that was built by a very rich man, at the begining of the last century. He became Governor of W. Va.
Anyway, he traveled the world, collecting pieces, to build a giant fireplace, of items, which would be impossible to collect today. It is made of pieces of the Pyrimids, London Bridge, Great Wall of China and on and on. The mansion used to be a museum and was open to the public. It was was called SUNRISE. It is a law office today.
I have a Rolleflex and a couple 3F Leica bodies/lens that were my daily camera, before I found a couple Leicaflexes. Sorry to say, they are all collecting dust, now.
