Franka Solida Record 

• 1948 
• Franka 
• Bellows camera 
• Germany 

Manufacturer Franka from Bayreuth, Germany, used a vague system of camera naming, resulting in many cameras being given the same or nearly the same name. This is one of the many Solida-Record models, as indicated on the top of the viewfinder. They were manufactured from the 1940s to the 1960s. Notable: on the back is the text: “Made in Germany US-Zone”. This designation was used in 1946 and 1947 to sell products outside Germany, as there was an embargo against German products at the time. See 2596463: This one lacks the button in the top left for locking the flap used to fold away the lens.
