Recently i received some Service Tools which are most probably for servicing photography equipment. Until now i was not able to identify for which equipment so any help from you is appreciated !

Here are some of the typenumbers engraved in the tools :
VMo-14531
VM52
VMo-15834
VMo-13306
VMo-14506
VMo-14908

Zeiss Ikon used this VM(o) nomeclature. The VM52 is a tool for the Contax iia. I couldn't find the other tools from your image in the contax iia repair manual though.

Ciao,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Thanks a lot for your fast answer !

There were some Zeiss Ikon spareparts (Tenax Automatic and Contina) in the same cardbox as these tools so that would fit into the picture.
I only have an Ikoflex service manual but that mentions no tools at all.

Thanks again and Cheers,
Hans

Well, got some answers today from a retired camera repair man. Every tool with a code engraved which starts with the letters "Vm" is definitely from Voigtländer. The number in the engraving contains the internal Voigtländer camera type designation in its first three digits.
For instance a tool which has the engraving VMo-14908 is Tool Nr.08 for camera type 149 (probably a Vitomatic).
