That's one I have not seen before. Thinking it could be a Welta or Steinheil but the Steinheil Periscope Paris name is usually on the lens.

A lot of such "no-name" camera were manufactured at this time and distributed by companies that were not manufacturers.

What a blast from the past, when we lived in Melbourne they use to put yellow skips out for folk to dump their stuff. Then my brother and I would go looking in the skips and we found one of those, but the case was black/brown.
