Some came with stories. The Graflex came with a mention that it was from the estate of a north-central nature photographer (and I forgot his name). The Rolleiflex hiding in the back of the German photo was the carry camera for a Chicago Tribune photographer. Have a big Speed Graphic in the back room that belonged to a traveling salesman who had a side business of motel postcards and used it to take motel pictures where he stayed, and then sold the postcards to the owners. Got the entire kit with that one.
How many know that the old flash handle from the Graflex was the origin for the Jedi's Lightsaber?
