Anyone interested in collectible photography equipment needs to check this auction.
The auction includes a large number of collectible Leica cameras and lenses, including one owned by Time-Life publisher Henry Luce. Some include original packaging and paperwork.
It also includes a Spirograph with discs. This isn't the child's toy most people think of when they see this name. This is an early version of a "movie" projector. The "film" consists of a disc with images placed in a spiral. (Think of a paper phonograph that produces images instead of sound.)
Estimated value on the Spirograph is $20,000 - $35,000.
Estimated value for the cameras and lenses range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand.
The auction is being held by Revival Auction Co.
