Made around 1953 in Nordenham Germany by Vredeborch GMBH. I think Vredeborch made some really pretty box cameras in its time. This one is absolutely mint. I believe the Agfa Pan 100 I put through it was its maiden roll as it came in a sealed box from a freund in Germany !

December days in New England are short and filled with shadows. The sun is low at noon and it is dark by 4:30.

The south facing sides of our white churches blaze in the weak sunlight. The north sides are cold and sunless. On this day, the shadows quivered in the wind.

Agfa Pan 100 in HC110-B for 7 minutes. Black and white Photos 1, 2 and 5 were taken through a yellow filter held over the Alka’s taking lens.
