They really are neat - very much a thing of the late 30-ies/early forties i think; streamlining and progress :-)RobertGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841652527282627317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272688866536964117.post-79762004059859654482021-04-01T17:07:29.518-07:002021-04-01T17:07:29.518-07:00That's so cool!

I used the TWDB to date mine to 1939 as well.Zealflowertattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659868001003067695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272688866536964117.post-36181110891526427392021-03-22T12:12:30.931-07:002021-03-22T12:12:30.931-07:00They do seem to be a ~1940ish thing.

Bit of a special - as rare as the Comet-in-disguise perhaps :)RobertGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01841652527282627317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272688866536964117.post-12871102828047097782021-03-21T02:08:06.660-07:002021-03-21T02:08:06.660-07:00I do have a case with a similar design however it ...I do have a case with a similar design however it hosts a Corona Standard Speedline - which itself is an oddity as it sports 1W 13370 serial number and this number idetifies it as "Corona Comet" according to the TWDB. Back to the case: although the braces are almost identical the legs are not sheet metal of a rectangular profile - they are tubular just like the camera tripods have extending the additional smaller diameter sections (2 of them) from inside of the larger one.Piotr Trumpielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849313715621355838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272688866536964117.post-7731352181884575902021-03-20T17:43:39.373-07:002021-03-20T17:43:39.373-07:00Nice write-up and photos!
