Description from the seller
1. First camera (on the left)
Model: Agfa Synchro Box (Variant with fine-grain textured coating and minimalist body).
Year of production: About 1951–1957.
Description: This version features a metal body covered in black leatherette with a fine-grain texture. It is characterized by a more austere design, lacking the classic chrome decorative front plate in Art Deco style.
Features: Mounts a fixed meniscus lens, two Galilean viewfinders (one for horizontal shots and one for vertical) positioned at the top left and right of the lens, and uses 120 film for 6×9 cm exposures.
2. Second camera (the first with the decorative mask)
Model: Agfa Synchro Box (Standard model with geometric plate).
Year of production: About 1951–1957.
Description: The most iconic model of the series, characterized by the elegant metal front mask and black enamel with geometric frames and the italic inscription "Agfa" and "Synchro Box".
Features: Includes the shutter instant selector and B exposure, the possibility to insert an integrated yellow filter for black-and-white via a side lever, and the socket for synchronized flash (from which it takes the name "Synchro").
3. Third camera (center)
Model: Agfa Synchro Box (Version with dealer/owner plaque).
Year of production: About 1951–1957.
Description: Externally similar to the classic models, it is distinguished by the presence of a small metal plaque applied to the front body (bearing the inscription "LUTHY... München...", indicative of an optical shop or a previous German owner). It has a body coated with a vertical rib texture.
Features: Has the same fixed-focus mechanism, multiple Galilean viewfinders and integrated tripod mounts in the metal frame.
4. Fourth camera (right, with case)
Model: Agfa Synchro Box in excellent condition with leather case.
Year of production: About 1951–1957 (case contemporary).
Description: An example preserved in very clean cosmetic condition, accompanied by its original rigid brown leather case. The case bears the Agfa hexagonal logo blind-embossed and the words Made in Germany.
Features: Shows the chrome front plate in perfectly intact condition, clean viewfinder lenses and a functioning back-door lock mechanism for housing 120 film reels.
