Description

A black, rectangular portable Zeiss Ikon Camera with a textured leather exterior and leather handle on top. The front of the camera has a large panel that can be opened using a silver knob on the upper left corner, which hinges down to reveal the accordion camera mechanism. The back of the camera has a wood frame surrounding a leather rectangle with an embossed star and the letters "Ica" in the center. A small latch on the left hand side can be used to open this panel, which folds out in an envelope-like manner to reveal the viewfinder. The leather handle for the camera is embossed with the words "Maximar 207." There are inset mounting points on the front and side of the camera.
