Produced by a company who made watches "K.Zelazkiewicz &
E. Niepanicz".
Which gained a license from "Fritz Kaftanski - Berlin".
Camera "Sida Optyka" 1938
Made from
black bakelite. The the camera's front look was slightly changed by adding a
black-brass panel. This piece has an adnotation informing that it's an Italian
patent. The interesting thing is, that I'd actually found and original, already
developed film. The photos were probably taken in 1938/39 in Cracov. In one of
the pictures, the boat 'Dunajec' can be seen in the background. This is the
Cracovian Dunajec (there was also a Warsowian one). Looking at these photos, you
can see happy peple merrily posing and smiling for the camera. All this would be
finished with the horror and terror that September 1939 would bring into their
lives.
