Vogue Squared Posted June 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, everyone, I just joined the forums to see if anyone had much info on this camera I came across. Looking the numbers up on Google that were marked on the lenses and housing brought me here. The housing has a lens with the number 370759 0.32x etched on the lens. On the bottom it says Made in West Germany. It takes 35mm film. On the inside lid flap of the housing it has the numbers etched S13-101 and what appears to be the serial number 0331067 Next is the box body that has a cord plug on the top and the number 94 in yellow on each side. Also on the outside is a sticker that says 133 Last is the front piece and that has TL160 etched on the inner edge ring and on the other side Germany Hopefully someone here can tell me more about it and possibly if it even has any value? Thanks in advance for any help! I can also add more photos if need be. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted June 19, 2018 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2018 It has, as far as I can see, nothing to do with Leica, but it is fairly typical of the 1950-ies and 60-ies stuff that came out of small German cottage industries. I think that skewed typewritten sticker and amateurish DIN socket are rather charming. The forum does not do valuations, but in this case I would say curiosity value only. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted June 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Just as an advice : transfer your question to the German section : this item, as above said, isn't related to Leitz/Leica, but in the German Forum there are several people interested and knowledged about the German Photo Industry of the '50s/'60s ; the only hint that comes to my mind is that the styling of your item resembles to me some Agfa cameras… but is a vague indication that can well be wrong.
