I love bakelite cameras. Bakelite material is ideal to obtain elaborated shapes that are not possible using metal or wood.
The Rajar No 6 is the very first klapp camera made from bakelite. Its art deco style make it very easy to recognize.
It has been released in 1929 by a British consortium of camera manufacturers called APM (Amalgamated Photographic Manufacturers Ltd)
I have been searching quite a long time to find an exemplary without breaking or crack in the bakelite and finally fund one.
(By the way, to be added to my collection, I am looking for a bakelite folding camera with a typical streamlined soap shape produced by both Ebner, Gallus and Pontiac. If you have one in your attic......;o)
