Not as well designed as the Rollei, it was a &#8216;made in America&#8217; competitor.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks once again to our good friend and fellow photographic historian, George Dunbar, for sharing this bit of post war history with us.<\/p>\n<p>Please note: if you want one for your collection, visit one of our events. The auction next month may be a source for this and other user and collector cameras and other gear. Check it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
