The Bilora Box was launched in 1935 by the German company Bilora. Production was interrupted by the war and resumed in 1949.
Bilora also produced a version of it for the German company Voigtländer who sold it as the Voigtländer Box. Only differences with the Bilora Box being the front decoration/name plate which is round instead of diamond shaped and a round Bakelite type of transport knob instead of the T-handle. The Voigtländer Box was produced from 1936 till 1939[1].
