What camera was this?

I found this image on pinterest. There was a link to a French site, but since the camera was sold, the page from the site was gone. "Google" Images was of no help.

Some sort of stereo camera, but I do not see the two speakers.

Sirius, I declare this as one of your top replies.

It didn't had speakers because it was an early camera and no sound recording attached.

I agree, most portables in that era could only drive high impedance headphones.

Based on what we can see, it's a plate camera, with a strut folding front standard. There were a large number of different models of glass plate stereo cameras, often in a format that was double in one dimension of a standard plate size like 9x12 cm or quarter plate (3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch). Ernemann made at least a couple different ones, and nearly every company that was making plate cameras as of the 1890-1910 period made at least one. Without more photos, we'd probably need to hear from someone who owns that specific model to get a positive ID.

Stereo photography came in wages, a major one was in the plate camera period, another in the 50's.

it could be a Contessa-Nettel Stereax Tropen (Tropical) ...and no, no speakers... but 9x13 glass plates...

Deckrullo tropical stereo by Nettel / Contessa-Nettel / Zeiss probably. It has Carl Zeiss Jena lenses, you can see that if you zoom in to the image.

Stereo version of these: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Deckrullo-Nettel

See for example: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-...eiss-ikon-stereo-deckrullo-tropen-6-x-13-1926

I don't have enyclopedic knowledge of these things, but Zeiss + tropical + stereo + sheet film will take you a long way in searching.

In my schooldays there hardly was an antique shop that did not have a stereo-print viewer in his window. Today I do not see such anymore. Coincidence?

And in less than three quarters of an hour, there it is.

What it is? The answer?

Because people aren't intrested any more in intresting stuff.

Wages or waves?

Whoa, focal plane. No flash sync, but 1/1200 second shutter speed makes it very intersting for some ocasion. If you can adapt a roll film, it would be nice...

Whatever it is it still is. If it was you wouldn’t have seen it.

there are still many unsold, e.g. search "Deckrullo stereo" at the auction sites

 

[nokia2010]

I wonder what prices do have the unsold ones.

 

[Ron (Netherlands)]

Be aware that most of the Deckrullo's have broken shutter cloth, and are not easy to repair. Their shutter was the example for the complicated but reliable Zeiss Ikon Contax shutter. I've repaired quite some, and the Deckrullo's are very nice to operate once they have a good shutter - however repairs come at a cost.

Must be Bluetooth.

You're thinking of the "Boom" box camera they used to lug on their shoulders while strutting down the streets back in the days.
