QRS Kamra

QRS camera (winder missing) by Rick Soloway

The de Vry Still Camera Model K-1, or QRS 35mm camera is a very early 35mm camera made by the QRS De Vry company in Chicago, possibly in 1928. The brick-like body was made of mottled brown Bakelite, with all the controls on one side. The flat back was removable for film loading

The camera had a clockwork timer, and could shoot 40 24x32mm frames in 20 seconds.
