Xyz Historical --- Rare camera in originalThe 'Xyz' subminiature camera was manufactured in France by Lancart in the mid 1920s. Made of metal, nickel plated and heavy for its size. It uses 16mm film, paper backed with 12x15mm exposures. The film is advanced by turning an octagonal or squared knob on the right hand side. It has a pop up direct line of vision viewfinder. Shutter selection, on the front is for instantaneous (1 25), or time exposures. In very fine, original and complete condition
