Hi folks,
Is anyone familiar with this camera, there are no markings.
It is small about 3x5 inch and takes plates/dark slides.
The bellows have no struts and there is a glass lens mounted behind the shutter.
Any help appreciated!
Has anyone seen this camera before - small plate bellows
Re: Has anyone seen this camera before - small plate bellows
This camera is probably French.
The model name may be a variation of " Le Gousset " or " Le Touriste" (very similar) released circa 1910/ 1920 by J.V. Paris / De Vries
The struts are metal and located Inside the bellows.

Hello there, thanks very much for the reply!
(I appreciate you're time for a detailed and knowledgable reply as I use the website regularly yet never the forum, furthermore there is a bit of spurious price / info requests I see).
The lead as the camera being French was very helpful and in a circuitous manner helped me find out the exact details.
The camera turns out to be a Ernemann Lilliput

I am not great with folding & bellows cameras and as such I'm trying to clear some of my collection, I also have a Lizars I will post later to see if anyone can shed light on.
