November 18, 2011 - Philadelphia, PA; An impressive collection of more than 350 old cameras will be put up for auction on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2011 at Fuller's Fine Art Auctions in Philadelphia, PA.
Highlights of the collection are "Worlds fastest Lens", the first motorized camera and a custom build Leica 'Reporter' for NFL Films.
( A selection of photos from this collection are published with the Nov 18, 2011 article by Alan Tu on WHYY's NewsWorks.org: "Vintage cameras to be auctioned off Saturday by Mt. Airy auction house" - You can read the article here: https://whyy.org/articles/vintage-cameras-to-be-auctioned-off-saturday-by-mt-airy-auction-house/ )
The cameras were collected by Edward Kaprelian (1913-1997), who after WWII became an expert on camera and lens technology. In May 1945, the U.S. Army seized more than 2,000 Carl Zeiss lenses from Germany as "war reparations" and turned them over to Kaprelian, who was then serving as Chief of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Engineering Labs in Fort Monmouth, N.J.
Kaprelian went on to become an avid collector of photographic equipment and materials during his lifetime and amassed a large collection of important cameras spanning the history of photography.

When it came to explaining the importance of events like the Revolutionary Germantown Festival, which was held Saturday on the Cliveden Grounds, Jack Asher drew a comparison between the printed word and actually seeing the actions described.
"It is one thing to open a history book and read about it," said Asher, an event sponsor, "but it is different to see the action. The guns going off. The smoke. The whole nine yards."
To that end, hundreds of historic reenactors came to the grounds of Cliveden for the annual Battle of Germantown reenactment.
