Mom was an avid amateur photog, made her own darkroom in one of the bathrooms (which I also used) and she was a devoted Minolta fan.
But Dad was devoted to Nikon and I was gifted his 'extra' Nikkormat FTN body (and bought one lens) when in High School. Later inherited all his Nikor lenses and accessories but any other bodies apparently were sold off.
Still have the Nikon stuff; Mom sold away all her Minolta gear and the darkroom equipment years ago.
I had a large collection of antique-to-modern photo gear but only kept a few 'gems' after my own "purge" a few years ago:
A Rolleiflex
My GrandDad's Kodak folding "Pocket" camera (it's huge! pockets were very big BITD!)
an Alpa (Swiss 35mm) with a couple good German lenses...stuff like that
