| Description |
The Alka Box (c1953) is just one of several attractive box cameras made by Vredeborch of Germany. This example has a soft plastic handle, parallel to the sides of the camera, while some have a diagonal handle (similar to the one on the GAP 6x9 box). Another Alka Box variation is that some included a built-in yellow filter, rotated into place by a knob below the lens (located where the 'O' in 'box' is). I have also seen a knob-less example where the 'O' was not filled in -- it was just a silver circle without the black inside. Most Vredeborch box cameras have the awesome nifty-fifties covering seen here, but some had the standard run-of-the-mill pebbled covering (also similar to the GAP). So many old box cameras have viewfinders that are almost completely useless - tiny, yellowed, dim & dirty. This camera's finders are the exact opposite. They're large, bright, clean, and crystal-clear, which is pretty good for being 55 years old! |
