Pontiac Bakelite
c1938-41. Made in France. Manufacture Francais d'Appareils photographiques it says on the id plate. This is a Pontiac Bakelite Model III. It has an f4.5 Pontiac Series II lens in 3 speed MFAP shutter. The shutter works, but does not hold open on B. The lens appears clear, but is hard to tell when you can't keep the shutter open. But it is the bakelite construction of this camera that makes in unusual and special. Lovely curved lines, moulded into the design by Ebner of Germany, this is a very aesthetically pleasing camera to look at and hold. There are no chips or cracks in the brittle bakelite, which is most unusual, so to find a camera like this in this ciondition is quite rare. It IS missing its leather carry strap, but other than that is complete.
~ Very Good condition.
