Description
Die Firma Gatto Cav. Antonio ging aus der Dezentralisierung von Officine Galileo S.p.A. während des Krieges hervor. Die ersten Sonne Kameras wurden um 1947/48 produziert, bis Gatto Mitte der 1950er Jahre die Produktion einstellte. Das letzte Projekt, die Vestacrom Kleinbild-Meßsucherkamera, eine Leica Kopie ähnlich der Sonne C4, von der nur wenige Prototypen hergestellt wurden und von denen uns bis heute kein vollständiges Exemplar bekannt ist, erreichte nie die Produktion. Das angebotene Los besteht aus zwei Vestacrom Aluminium-Gusskörpern, einer in verchromter Ausführung, mit Bleistift auf der Rückseite mit Vestacrom gekennzeichnet, mit Schneider Xenar 1:3.5/50 mm Objektivtubus (ohne Optik oder Blende), der andere in schwarz, sowie einem Schneider Xenon 1:2/50 mm Schnittmodell mit Optik und Blende.
Dabei: Zwei Glasplatten, die einen fertigen Vestacrom Prototypen von der Vorder- und Rückseite zeigen, jeweils ca. 6,3 x 8,9 cm.
The company Gatto Cav. Antonio emerged from the decentralisation of Officine Galileo S.p.A. during the war. The first Sonne cameras were produced around 1947/48, until Gatto ceased production in the mid 1950's. The last project, the Vestacrom 35 mm rangefinder camera, a Leica copy similar to the Sonne C4, of which only a few prototypes were made and of which no complete example is known to us to this day, never reached production. The offered lot consists of two Vestacrom aluminium body castings, one in chrome finish, marked Vestacrom with pencil on the back, with a Schneider Xenar 50 mm f/3.5 lens barrel (without optics or a diaphragm), the other one in black finish, as well as a Schneider Xenon 50 mm f/2 cut-away with optics and diaphragm.
Included: Two glass plates showing a completed Vestacrom prototype from front and back, each ca. 6,3 x 8,9 cm.
Serial Number: -
Production Year: ca. 1955
