Plastiskop
(Image rights) |
The Plastiskop camera is a toy camera, but not one for making photographs. It's a plastic bodied subminiature slide viewer, shaped like an early Leica copy. It even has a release button which must be applied to see the next slide. Every souvenir Plastiskop contains a small set of subminiature photo slides which show a certain location. True toy versions may contain a set of cartoon slides instead. The slide viewing ocular is in the camera back. The Plastiskop needs no battery. Its production began after WWII. The company still exists (2012).
