The Dolly Vest Pocket is a folding camera for 127 film made in the 1930s by Certo in Germany. It's diminutive size (115mm x 85mm x 32mm when folded), large negative size, and sharp lens make it a surprisingly good performer.
Note the extra lines on the viewfinder lens, for 3x4cm images when using a mask.
