Folding cameras
Juwella Balda-Werk is a company with a long history that started with its founding in 1908 by Max Baldeweg in Dresden. Initially it produced camera parts, but in 1925 it introduced its first box camera and in 1935 the Baldina, a folding 35mm camera. After WWII Max Baldaweg restarted its company in former West-Germany, as the Dresden factory was confiscated by the authorities. The Dresden factory continued producing the Baldina cameras under the Balda brand, but was in 1951 renamed Belca. Camera production in West-Germany continued with pre-war as well as new models, including non-folding cameras. It kept producing cameras until the 1980s, although the last 20 years mostly simple instant cameras.
Like many German camera makers in the era between WWI and WWII, Balda started with relatively simple box and folding cameras. The Juwella was an example of the latter. It was a 6x9 format camera for use with 120 film and featured a simple frame finder as viewfinder as well as an old-school brilliant finder next to the shutter. The camera was usually equipped with simple self-branded lens and shutter
