Edwin Molenaar

Model: S.P., nr. 43440
Lens: Schneider - Kiptar Serie S 1:1,6, f=50mm, nr. 112972, Optische Werke Göttingen
Dimensions: basis 20x28cm height 40cm, weight ca. 5 kilo

The Lytax company was founded in 1921 Freiburg, Germany, by Nikolaus Moritz Lyon and Odo Deodatus Tauern. The company name was a combination of the first two letters of each surname, followed by an X. 
The fine mechanical factory with ca. 60 employees, produced cinema movie projectors, cutting tables for the film industry, and motion-picture film cameras.
During the Second World War Lytax was made into an armament factory  and had to produce straightening attachments for grenade launchers and anti-aircraft night lighting systems. After the war they specialized in building model trains and railroads. The company stopped to exist in 1963.
Lytax has been known for their delicate craftsmanship and their cameras and model trains are now rare and highly sought collector's items.

This item was stored in a closet and has not been used for decades and has not been tested. Needs restoration. No box, no instruction book. Condition looks good, some paints chips off on the top. Comes with empty 16mm spool. Rare item from the beginning of the era of sound film.
