Rare Bakelite Body Folding 1938/39 Turf and 42 similar items

Here is a little bit of history: The Turf is a bakelite-bodied folding camera for 4.5x6cm exposures on 120 or 620 size roll-film. It was made by Sida GmbH of Berlin, in about 1938.[1] By this time the company was no longer owned by Kaftanski because of the persecution of Jews. The camera bears no similarity at all to the Sida itself (other than the use of bakelite, as in some versions of the Sida). It is moulded with slim ribs along the body to give an elegant 'streamline moderne' style, and has a much better lens. This is a 7.5cm Sida Anastigmat in the early model, either an f/3.5 or f/4.5, and a 7cm Turf Extra Anastigmat, f/3.5, f/3.8 (as pictured here) or f/4.5, in the later Turf Extra. Both lenses have an iris diaphragm stopping down to f/32, and front-element focusing down to 1.5 metre (or about 4oe feet, as pictured). The camera has tripod sockets for both vertical and horizontal orientation (threads cut into the bakelite, not metal inserts). It has a bakelite winding knob, and two red windows, with metal covers impressed 'Turf', to use the frame numbers 1-8 for sixteen exposures.[2] The folding table-stand on the front acts as the catch to unfold the camera. This Turf Extra (made in about 1939), with a reverse-Galilean finder moulded into the body. I am selling this Rare camera AS IS, as you can see from the photo it is missing some parts such as metal front stand on one side is missing . Original leather case has some damage too.
