Many of the cameras I come across are in perfect condition. That’s the case with this Imperial by Braun. I don’t think this camera was ever used before I got my hands on it.

Imperial Box 6x6 S by Braun - Nuremberg, Germany 1951-1954

There was a wooden spool in the take-up position and the leather strap is supple. There isn’t a mark anywhere on the camera.

Braun made a few models based on the design of The Imperial Box 6×6 S.  The Nimco, The Reporter an Imperial Box 6×6 S with an art deco face like the Nimco, an Imperial Box 6×6 V and  The Simco.  Fascinating, ain’t it ?
