The Selcaflex is a Japanese 6×6 TLR camera. It was perhaps made by a company called Kyōwa, as the markings on the camera seem to indicate.[1]
Description
The Selcaflex has externally geared lenses, with a focusing tab on the taking lens. There is a metal casing surrounding the two lenses, and the shutter release protrudes from this casing on the photographer's right.
The film advance is by a knob on the photographer's right and is controlled by a red window at the bottom of the back, protected by a vertically sliding cover. There is a depth-of-field table on the back, above the red window.
The viewing hood has a KSK logo on the front, and a loupe is hinged to its rear part. The name Selca flex is inscribed in a nameplate with a stepped border.
The lenses are Kyowa Selter 7.5cm f/3.5. The aperture scale is screwed to the front casing, under the taking lens, and it has a KYOWA CAMERA WORKS marking.
The shutter is a Selca, gives B, 1–200 speeds, has a self-timer and a PC synch post.[2]
The only surviving example observed so far is pictured in this page and this page at Japan Family Camera.

↑ The mention of Kyōwa Kōgaku (協和光学) in this page and this page at Japan Family Camera are mistakes: the maker of the Flora Six and Kyowa Six was called Kyōwa Kōki (協和光機), and it was certainly a different company. In particular the logos are not the same.
