- Description
- A simple black box camera with black, simulated textured leather. It also has an adhesive-taped, original box. The inverted aperture in the front has a black metal retention ring surrounding it. Below this “Agfa” is imprinted on the camera, surrounded by a diamond-shaped box. There is a black metal rim which overlaps the edges on the front of the camera; on both sides there is a slight extension, .03 x.05 wide, 2.0cm from the top, with a hole in the metal. This fits over two small metal knobs on each side of the camera body. It appears that pushing the knobs in and pulling, would release the front part of the camera from the body. On the viewer’s left is the metal shutter release; a small metal lever that can be pulled down to release the shutter and expose the lens from inside the body. On the same side is the metal film winder, 3.0cm from the front and .50cm from the top; this is a flat piece of metal 2.0cm in diameter, with arrows indicating the direction to turn (clockwise arrows), a round raised metal tab, onto which is screwed a piece of metal (2.5cmx1.0cm wide in the middle) to wind the film. It can also be pulled out to release the metal film chamber. The metal is turned down on the side of each end so the fingers can grasp it for turning. A metal folding viewfinder is .50cm from the back and 2.7cm from top and bottom; a flat piece of metal 3.0cm sq., folded at the sides, is rivetted onto the body. Two flat metal pieces are attached at each end, one on a spring to fold down; this piece is 2.4x2.7cm wide with a window cut out .50x1.0cm wide. The other piece is 2.7cm sq. with a window of 1.5x2.4cm wide; the cutout has a piece of metal raised from the bottom of the window. The cutout is for perspective when you look through the viewfinder, vertically or horizontally. This piece of metal folds down to become the top, effectively making the viewfinder flat when not in use. There is a hinged door on the back of the camera and a cut-out metal latch on the door that connects to a small metal knob 1.0cm from the edge of the body. There is a red circle film window (1.0cm diagonally) which lets you read the frame number on the film. On the inside of the door are two rivets that connect the hinge. Above that and below the red circle, is a white painted circle with “USE AB” printed in black, overlapping a painted orange, blue, white, and yellow Agfa Plenachrome film box. The red viewfinder is 4.0cm from the base. A metal film chamber, with two metal rollers on each end for winding the film on, fits inside the camera. It can be released by pulling out the film winder. The canister is 7.0x5.0 wide, is open at one end, hollow in the centre, sloping upwards with a circular hole at the other end to let light in. There are two sprockets sitting on two cutouts on top of the canister and two on the bottom, onto which the film is winded. There are two rivets attaching two Y-shaped metal pieces, on either end that guide and let the film move and roll. The top of the camera has two metal knobs 1.5cm crosswise from each end, where a leather strap with a hole on either end, .07cm from the edge, fits in to make a diagonal strap/handle for carrying. The strap is imprinted with “A-8 CADET”. There is a small metal pull-up tab, 1.0cm from the edge of the front of the camera, that lets you time the shutter speed.

- Description
- (a)Gossen Lunasix exposure and colour meter in a pear shape with leather case. The light meter device measures the amount of light that is appropriate to achieve the proper exposure, indicating for the users which shutter speed and f-number should be selected. Along the top of the exposure meter in the viewer left corner is a white bulb-like part next to an open circular window that measures the amount of light present in the scene. When the converter slide, located along the viewer right side, is moved to the right and clicked into position the round window is open and ready to read the scene. At the top, on the face of the meter, the light measurement (scale) is present. This shows how much light is present in the scene and directly relates to the remaining scales on the meter. Below the light scale is a plexiglass film-speed setting disc with grooves that allow the operator to easily move the dial. In the middle of the dial there is the Lunasix manufacturer symbol. On viewer left side of this emblem is the DIN exposure index of the film in use; on the proper right side of this emblem is the ASA exposure index of the film in use. By moving the dial one adjusts the film-speed setting, which is indicated in the DIN and ASA boxes, whereby the index number is lined up against the triangular white marker in the respective window. A manual would have originally been sold with the object giving a more comprehensive overview of the film-speed table with a technical appendix. On the rear of the object in the viewer right corner one will see the correct position of the 2 batteries indicated through a tiny diagram. Below this is a metal battery chamber. Below this are the words “2 Batt. Mallory” “PX 625 o. PX 13”. To the viewer left of this writing is the ridged slide used for battery testing. Above the ridged slide are the words “Batt. Contr.” with a solid arrow below. Below the battery information is the table of footcandle (LUX) equivalents. In the middle of the table is the zero adjustable screw with an arrow pointing in both directions. AT the very bottom painted on the surface is the location of manufacturing; “GERMANY (WEST)” above a cutout window revealing the patent number; “4D01673”. (b) There is also a black leather case with the object. The inside of the case has gray suede lining, which would have helped avoid scratching and marking of the meter. The case has been carefully designed to retrofit the meter, which is apparent through the tiny leather strap present when the case is opened. These designs allow the object to be formly held into place further safeguarding it. At the bottom of the case there is a black button that allows the case to be opened and fastened shut. When the case is fastened shut, the name of the manufacturer “Gossen” appears imprinted and is upside down. Below this, also upside down, “LUNASIX 3” has been applied in silver ink. Along the viewer right side the case has a cutout that perfectly fit the converter slide. On the rear “MADE IN GERMANY” appears in a receded box with protruding lettering. The bottom of the case, where the button is located, contains an opening for the black string to be strung through. The string, which has been tied to the exposure meter, measures 49.0 cm and has a metal piece holding the ends of the string in place. This would have given the user greater security when working with the exposure meter.

Also on the lid is a hard leather handle attached to the lid with metal loops - attached to both handle loops are several remnants of paper tags and a leather travel tag with a clear plastic window. Visible through the window is a stained paper tag that reads “N Morant Special Photographer Public Relations and Advertising Canadian Pacific Banff, Alberta.” Inside the lid is a “NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA Exposed Negative” card depicting a woman in a pale green bikini. Drawn on the inside of the lid in black, yellow, and red is a caricature of a face with a thought bubble that reads “AUNT MARTHA LIKES THIS ONE.” The exterior of the case is covered in faded and torn travel stickers and labels, there is also “D7” spray painted in yellow on the lid under the handle, on both short sides, and on the back. Inside the case are three black “KODAK HARD RUBBER TANK 4x5” containers. In one tank are two cardboard boxes - one is green and contains an Eastman timer and the other is a yellow “EASTMAN THERMOMETER” box with the thermometer inside. The second tank contains two circular metal supports for developing rolls of film negatives, a white metal Kodak film canister (empty), and a blue cardboard box with another metal film processor inside. The third tank contains a cylindrical container that has something inside of it, but it does not open.

- Metal developing tanks dimensions: 13.6x11.6x17.2 or smaller.Torn and crinkled label free-floating inside case reads “DALLON SS TANKS 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 24 CAPACITY.” DALLON most likely refers to David Allan (Dallan) sheet metal workers, specializing in darkroom products, of London England. Case is a hard-sided black leather box with a lid that hinges open and held open with a brown leather strip on the left-hand side - also has silver metal clasps and carry handle on the front of the case. The case’s interior is lined with grey fabric and the main compartment is divided into two equal sections that house the metal developing tanks. Nailed to the bottoms of each compartment are pieces of wood to prevent the tanks from sliding around. The metal tanks have lids that lift off - one has notches that could have been used to latch the lid down, but no latches remain, and the other has holes in the middle of the lid from where a handle used to be, the handle is missing. Inside the tanks are cradles with lifting handles at either end and removable curved brackets to mount the film in. One tank has what appears to be a vent with a cap on one end, the cap appears to be stuck in place. Folded-up newspaper packed into empty spaces of case beside the tanks, removed.

- Two boxes of 12 10x15cm Kodak Verichrome Film Packs with broken seals. Each box is mostly yellow with black and red manufacturer and product details throughout - there are two paper adhesive stickers holding the box closed, the one that has the expiration date on it on each box is broken.Verichrome was a kind of panchromatic film that yielded high-quality black and white photographs thanks to the fine-grained emulsion. Film Packs were basic forms of storage meant to be used shortly after purchasing as their [mostly] paper packaging did not keep out oxygen well and had a tendency to fog over time, rendering the film unusable in the long term. It was replaced by the more stable Verichrome Pan in the 1950s.
