Description: This is a rare vintage collectors piece, a Wirgin Deluxe camera complete with its original case. The camera was produced by Wirgin, a renowned brand in the photography industry. With its classic design and sturdy construction, this camera is perfect for any collector or photography enthusiast. The camera is a type of film camera that uses 35mm film and has a manual focus. The model is the Wirgin Deluxe, which is known for its high-quality lenses and precision craftsmanship. This camera is ideal for anyone looking to add a vintage touch to their photography collection. I did notice the name plate is missing on the front but not noticeable when the lens is out. All lens are in perfect shape and no cracks The Wigrin Deluxe was sold by Camera Specialty Company of New York City. This was an enterprise founded by emigré Max Wirgin after the nationalization of Gebrüder Wirgin during the Nazi period in Germany. The Wirgin Deluxe cameras were simple plastic folding cameras making 6x6 images on 120 film (not 6x9 as is sometimes stated).Two body styles of the "American" Wirgin folder are known. One seems to be a name variant of the Voigt. This has a cast chrome top and bottom plate, and appears identical to the Vokar B produced in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by Electronic Products Manufacturing Co..However the body style shown in the example below has flat top & bottom plates with Art Deco styling motifs. While this still has similarities to the Vokar folders, the Deco-styled Wirgin model has a hinged back, and lacks the "P-in-shield" mold mark found in the film compartment of the Vokar B. Whether this model has any Vokar connection is unclear. These models continued to be advertised into the 1950s.
