Tracey Deakin from Torpoint Cornwall; Many thanks to Tracey for contacting me about her childhood camera collection.
Tracey started collecting when she was 12 years old, most were from car boot sales and local markets. She stopped collecting cameras when she reached 17 and had over 100 cameras in her collection.
Tracey found one of her cameras when she was 14 under a bench at Black Gang Chine on the Isle of Wight! she never did find the owner.... the Agfa Flexilette belonged to her stepfather, he purchased it while on holiday in Germany in the late fifties/ early sixties. The Yashica 44 was a gift from her first husband and the only place she could find the film for it was Harrods!

Tracey used one of her favourite cameras as the base for her wedding bouquet and attached a mini tripod to make it easier to carry.

Tracey became a professional photographer and displayed the choice cameras in her  photographic studio. They were then boxed up and stored in her fathers loft for over 10 years.... some didn't cope well in the loft and sadly suffered badly from corrosion. the cameras here were the lucky ones to not be too badly affected by their spell in the loft.
