ID-ing some super old cams

Hey all,

Thought I'd ask the MP hivemind for your expertise and knowledge. I picked up some old cams recently - they're totally unused & obviously never been placed, which is great, but I didn't realize that they're not all Wild Country friends. Only two are. I talked with Mark over at WC and he dated them to 1989.

Here's a dropbox folder of all the cams: dropbox.com/sh/qx0kshgz7dro…

Any input would be awesome. Thanks!

IIRC there were some knock offs out of Asia BITD. I can not remember the consensus but it seemed that the quality was nothing great. Probably would not die but they would not last.

Home made forged friends copies?

They're marked "Bob H." Maybe they belonged to Bob Horan.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
