AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale: V.P. Twin, a bakelite box camera produced in England by E. Elliott Ltd in the 1930s. This model, pocket-sized ("V.P." stands for vest pocket), is an iconic example of the era's economical Art Deco design.


The camera body features a rough texture that imitates leather and has two front lenses: one for the exposure (the 'bolco' lens) and the other for the reflex viewfinder, which allows composing the image from above. At the rear there is the red window for frame counting and the sliding closure mechanism. The camera used 127-format film, producing small negatives. A simple yet fascinating collectible piece, a testament to pre-war British popular photography. Included is a VP Twin camera as shown in the images.
