I have discovered your forum while researching a camera that I have recently purchased. I am looking for help in Identifying when and where it was made. It has a metal label attatched to the front that says DUNKERS VE-JA-DE ste.genevieve, MO. It is a wood box 10" tall 14"long and 5"wide It has a surface mounted Kodak lens #2 supermatic with a cable shutter release. On one side is a brass colored wind up handle and the top has a leather strap with a mechanical counter. The other side opens up and reveals the guts which appear to be wooden reels and wind up areas to wind film.I believe it may have law enforcement roots, there are instructions on the side that explain how to use it.Any help where a novice can go to find out more or does someone in your group of experts know what I have. Thank you in advance Louie Abuso Colorado USA.
Sounds very cool and impressive looking Louis! It may well be a camera designed for taking pictures for school yearbooks, where a large group of students would line up to have their pictures taken. (I once had my portrait made before I even hit the seat... didn't look too good.) I wish I could tell you more about it's history. Marty
