Fred It is a light meter. The camera appears to be an 8mm movie camera. The year is 1947, and a better question would be; Who is that old guy with the royal family? The answer to that question is, the old guy is South African Prime minister, Jan Smuts. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The camera appears similar to the likes of the Cine-Kodak series, which would have been around in 1947. At one time, I had a Kodak 8mm camera similar in body style to the photo: slim body, had the 'guts' laid out so everything was visible when the side was removed for loading, and a frame type viewfinder along the top. I think I shot maybe two rolls of film through it. -- Ken Hart |

I believe that is exactly what the camera is, given the Cine-Kodak first came on the market in 1932 and developed from there. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped.../Vintage_Cine- Kodak_Eight_Model_90_Magazine_Loading_8mm_Movie_Ca mera%2C_Made_In_USA%2C_Circa _1940s_%2822458084718%29.jpg or https://tinyurl.com/y4h7ks2b Then there are other shots of the scene where Smuts’ face isn’t blocked. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/22/6a/45226a01ae3d5e20208f187ce9732441.jpg At one time, I had a Kodak 8mm camera similar in body style to the photo: slim body, had the 'guts' laid out so everything was visible when the side was removed for loading, and a frame type viewfinder along the top.

One of my uncles had one which was more of a family embarrassment rather than a means of recording family events for the ages. -- Regards, Savageduck |
