I like older technologies

Not only do I like typewriters, but I find myself gravitating toward other older technologies. I own fountain pens and quills, film cameras, even black powder firearms. Here are a few photos. 

Here is a Sheaffer Balance (Oversized) fountain pen from the 1930s :



And a goose quill in a 1940s Esterbrook "hockey puck" inkwell:



And another favorite writing implement that some of you may recognize:



And a (replica -- couldn't possibly afford an original) 1861 Colt Navy .36 cal. revolver:



And finally a 1934 Zeiss-Ikon Ikonta 6cm x 9cm 120 roll film camera from 1934:


Hmmmmm. I wonder what this button does...

Re: I like older technologies

For about 15 years, I was collecting old Swiss arms and their accessories.

Just like with typewriters, I seem to be equally excited about their cases than the machines.

Same with gun holsters.  Some of which date back to the late 1880's.
