KEMPER Alfred C. (Chicago, Illinois, USA)

KOMBI Année / year c.1893
SN 7856  stamped on the main body and on the interchangeable back.
The complete name is : The Kombi Camera and Graphoscope.
One of the cutest cameras I've ever seen.
The advertisement says "it's not a toy, but a success". At $3.50...
It's an all brass miniature box camera with oxidized silver finish (The oxidation decorated the body with attractive diagonal stripes). Size : 4,5x4,5x5,5cm !
Takes 25 exposures on a rollfilm (28mm square or round, depending the mask inside).
Historic Firsts of this camera :
- The world's first miniature roll film camera,
- The first camera to use film manufactured by Kodak solely for use in a non-Kodak camera,
- The first camera to combine the taking and viewing of photographs in the same instrument,
- The first all metal-bodied roll film camera,
- The first interchangeable back for roll-film cameras.

The dial seen at the top center of the camera is used to cock the shutter.  It can be set to two positions (center position for time exposures, farthest position for instant exposures).  The shutter release (a spring lever) is located on top of the camera; pressing the lever releases the dial from the notched latch, activating the shutter.
There is a round cover plate on the camera back. It's removed to use the camera as a viewer (pictures taken with the Kombi could be processed as prints, or positive transparencies in roll form).  To view transparencies, the roll was reinserted in the camera, the back cover plate removed and the camera back was held to the light.  The camera lens, now acting as the viewer lens was held to the eye.  The film wind knobs were used to position the individual photographs for viewing.

The camera shown here has its rare accessory called the Kombi Clasp. It's a strip of brass (sold separately from the camera). The word Loaded is stamped into the clasp (used as a reminder ?).  It comes also with its original box.

Focal plane shutter B-1/2-1000 (true speed).
Copy of the Pre-War Contax II.
Here is a small background historical : 
When the Soviet Armies entered Germany during the second world war one of the major targets were the cities of Jena and Dresden. These cities were one of the Third Reich's major centers of optical technology and home to Carl Zeiss and Zeiss Ikon. Before the war one of the most admired cameras had been the Zeiss Ikon Contax and Karl Zeiss was a leader in optical design. USSR captured the camera factory and the lens factory virtually undamaged. They even captured all the plans and experimental data.
The factories were loaded on trains going east and sent to Kiev.
When the factories  arrived in Kiev they were incomplete and much was damaged. 
Jena was within the Soviet zone of control. This area soon would be called the D.D.R but at this point was just USSR occupied Germany. The factory was returned to Germany and as more "War Reparations" the Germans were allowed to make the factory produce Contax cameras and lenses. After this the factory was returned to Kiev and began producing cameras (approximately 1948).
