My Kodak 35, which feels as heavy as a prewar Contax despite being made largely of Bakelite.

My dad had one of those with a couple lenses that was given to me at some point. It needed work, so I gave it to a friend who worked on cameras to straighten it out and then he passed away. So the camera and lenses are now lost to me.
Thanks for a nice memory.

Workhorse - Leica III and Summar by Neal Wellons, on FlickrLeica III from 1934
Leitz Summar 50mm f/2.0 from 1937. Well-worn but clear optics. Somewhat soft look. I love it.

Does my FrankenLeica qualify? A mix of M2/M3/M4 parts

If you have a DR Summicron with the goggles you can mount on it, I'd say then it's steampunk. Oh, you need a soft release too. 🙂

I also have a Steampunk shelf - although lately, new tech is starting to invade. My shrine and homage' to 50+ years of shooting pictures:

difficult to get text in together with pictures, so I must reply to write. BUT I did write "Pigriff C must qualify" and illustrated it with the closeuprails extended and the long telyt mounted

Extra points if you bolt a Visoflex onto it for a highly punk experience ...

Mamiya RB67 about to swallow my Leica IIIf 😁
Motorized back is pseudo-steampunkish.

my visoflexII would not fit without changing Novoflex rings (still available new from the Memmingen factory!) and the mirrorbox plus LM to NZ ring would also hinder the infininty setting by lengthening the light path. Also, the analogous sliding mount that leitz used for these Telyts plus for the R´s has a different thread on the glass component.
An extra superfluous(?) "mechanical" feature in the illustration is that the sunshade is covered with leather (according to the original Leitz brochure, to avoid scratches to the metal finish - when supporting against a tree or such).
