Details
In 1914 "Weeka-Kamera-Werk" was started by Walter Waurich and Theodor Weber. In the early years, plate cameras were built manually, in small numbers. These cameras all carried the model name "Welta", although there were many differences between them. In 1923, the factory name was changed to Welta GmbH, making the model name factory name. From that year new model names were introduced, such as eg "Perle". This copy was probably produced around 1919, under the model name Welta. The camera does not have a serial number, but the Compur shutter and the Laack Rathenow lens do have their own serial numbers (respectively 2372832 and 201543).

In 1914 werd "Weeka-Kamera-Werk" begonnen door Walter Waurich en Theodor Weber. In de eerste jaren werden er platencamera's handmatig gebouwd, in kleine aantallen. Deze camera's droegen allen de modelnaam "Welta", hoewel er veel onderlinge verschillen waren.
In 1923 werd de fabrieksnaam gewijzigd in Welta Gmbh, waardoorde de modelnaam fabrieksnaam werd. Vanaf dat jaar werden er nieuwe modelnamen geintroduceerd, zoals bijv. "Perle".
Dit exemplaar is vermoedelijk rond 1919 geproduceerd, onder de modelnaam Welta.
De camera heeft geen serienummer, maar de Compur sluiter en de Laack Rathenow lens hebben wel hun eigen serienumers (bij dit examplaar resp. 2372832 en 201543).
