The first of the pretty 6x6 box cameras for 120 film made by Eho-Altissa was this Altissa Nr. 200. This pre-war model introduced 1935 is easily separated from the handful of post-war successors like the Altissa Box by its much smaller Telescopic finder. Also the periscopic lens still bears the name of the manufacturer Rodenstock, whereas later versions of the camera have a lens simply marked “Altissar Periskop 1:8”.
