    Another car boot find.
    This little thing measures about two inches high, and 1 1/2 across.
    Internet sources came up with the 1917 patent, a picture of the illustration is included above:

    The advert for the model "B" from 1930/31 came from this site:
    http://www.camarassinfronteras.com/accesorios/photoclip_B/photoclip_B.html
    and thanks for the info found there!

    Not sure of the exact date, but there was a model "C" sold recently here:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Recta-Photo-Clip-C-60-sec-Polaroid-Camera-Self-Timer-Swiss-Ma-/281857093300?nma=true&si=AC2GfTTzAgp8zSAbLY41eo6yEhg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

    These were not made after 1961 according to the site linked above, and I have found several examples like mine on various sites, this model was made to fit Leica and Rollei cameras with a Compur shutter according to the original boxes seen on ebay and other sites.

    Thanks for looking.

      Thanks Thomas, glad you like it.
      It was took while on holiday in Skegness, where my latest finds are from.
      I also took some pics of my daughter "holding" the lower rainbow up, people saw me doing it and kids started copying it! It was fun to do, and the result looks great.

      Thanks for the loves, you and Manny!
