Bolsey was an American manufacturer founded in 1947 by Jacques Bogopolsky, who was born in Ukraine and had emigrated to Switzerland. He had already designed the Bolec camera in 1927, that would be produced as the Bolex after the rights were sold to Paillard, and the Bolca Reflex 35mm SLR in 1938, that would be produced as the Alpa after the rights were sold to the Swiss company Pignons. He moved to the United States at the beginning of World War II and founded the new Bolsey company in 1947 to produce small 35mm fixed lens rangefinders. The company disappeared at the beginning of the 1960s.
