looks like that camera for sale is a '31 certo dolly, uses 127 film.

(is 127 film still available?)

I've got the adverts and descriptions for the whole range in a British Journal Photographic Almanac, but the book's in Turkey at the moment.

The 50mm lens indicate it's not a 120 camera, it may be a 127 version from the early 1930's. Don't pay to much for it as very little film is available.
