Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch (Dresden). Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch 1920s "Patent Etui" 9x12cm extra-slim folding plate camera, serial number 31133, retailed and badged by Wallace Heaton Ltd of London (Suppliers of Photographic Equipment to Her Majesty The Queen), with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 135mm f/4.5 lens, serial number 1083359, and F. Deckel Compur dial-set shutter in working order, serial number 612054, KW logo on front panel, wire frame finder, bubble spirit level next to reflex viewfinder, rise and fall by means of thumb screw and worm gear, rack focusing, bellows in good condition, closed dimensions 165 x 115 x 45mm, weight 775g, together with compatible film pack The Patent Etui was manufactured in Dresden between 1919 and 1938 by Paul Guthe and Benno Thorsch. It was originally designed for glass plate negatives but can take film packs and roll film backs, such as those made by Rollex or Plaubel (RADA) for using 120 film and negatives 6x9. It is one of the most innovative designs of that era, resulting in a solution thin enough to slip into a pocket. It achieved this by the folding arrangement of the front standard and by shaping the bed of the camera to accommodate the lens/shutter when closed. The camera weighs only around 800g and was considerably smaller than most of its German competitors, in comparison a 4×5in Crown Graphic weighs 2.4kg. In 1937 Paul Guthe emigrated to Switzerland, as a Jew he was no longer safe anywhere. Benno Thorsch emigrated to the USA in 1938, for the same reason. He had already met Charles A. Noble of Detroit (who was of German origin) while Noble was on a visit to Germany. Thorsch had suggested selling the company to him in exchange for Charles' Detroit Photographic business. The sale went ahead and Charles moved to Germany with his family. Charles realised that the company's future lay with 35mm SLR cameras and launched the Praktiflex which after the war became the famous Praktica camera.
