This is my favorite early folding camera design in the 6x9 format. The 1930's version of this was only available in black enamel but was offered with a variety of lenses. I think that very few of these were made after WWII but in the 1950's Voigtlander began making the Bessa I and then the Bessa II rangefinders both of which were only available in chrome finish and they lost that cool 1930's Deco shape.....at any rate, this particular example came from a Dutch camera dealer and is in mint condition. Even though it has a top of the line Heliar lens these images were a little soft. I wonder if the focus can be adjusted...
