Description

PAILLARD BOLEX 16MM MOVIE CAMERA. MODEL H16 WITH EXTERNAL FRAME COUNTER, MADE IN SWITZERLAND.  SERIAL#31194. MADE BETWEEN 1946-1947.  GENUINE MOROCCO LEATHER.  CHROME PLATED METAL TRIM. NO RUST. INCLUDES ADDITIONAL TRIFOCAL VIEWFINDER.  ALSO INCLUDED IS ORIGINAL GUIDES, BOOKS, GLASS FILTERS, AND HOLDERS.  ALL SHOWN IN PICTURES AS IS.  CAMERA IS IN GREAT SHAPE.  I'VE NEVER USED IT (I DON'T KNOW HOW) BUT IT'S BEEN A BEAUTIFUL PART OF MY COLLECTION FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS.  IT'S VERY CLEAN BOTH INSIDE AND OUT.  INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTS LOOK AS IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TOUCHED SINCE IT WAS FAIRLY NEW.  THE CASE ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE HOMEMADE.  INCLUDING THE LITTLE PIECE OF WOOD USED TO HOLD THE CAMERA.  I LOOKED THRU ALL THE ORIGINAL CAMERA CASES ON THE BOLEX SITES  AND COULDN'T FIND THIS PARTICULAR ONE.  IT IS IN ROUGHER SHAPE BUT DOES ITS JOB WELL.  IT LOOKS AS IF IT'S HELD THE CAMERA SINCE DAY ONE.  DEFINITELY ANTIQUE.
