This is an iconic piece, with all Swiss made components.

A vintage Bolex camera is included as is the original factory wood case / trunk with dozens of accessories including the pictured original Bolex Paillard animation alignment grid.

Unbelievable decorative sculpture potential.

Lots of 50's chrome, stainless and high grade silver colored baked on paint.

The whole unit including the well articulated (six way) side lights and spring loaded tape measure for camera height and focus, work correctly.

The working vintage lights offer a beautiful illumination for display using lower wattage warm household lamps.

Still working and can be used by a filmmaker or video-maker to do titling, animation and special effects.

Will accommodate other cameras for use or for a unique sculpture display.

A very rare piece that appears to be new and unused.

Superb Swiss made quality. Stored for decades in the original wooden trunk case, that appears handmade and seems to have wonderful display value on its own with the custom fitted raw natural wood interior finish.

No mildew odor or rot. No damage.

Will be sold cleaned and polished. This basic piece of Bolex Paillard equipment was designed by Bolex in the late 1940s and continued to be advanced in complication through the following decade.

Few were sold due to the high cost. Stands a full 40 inches tall on the floor and even taller if table or pedestal mounted.

Offered as a wonderfully impressive decorative display artifact sculpture for studio, home, office or in a collection.

A true vintage Motion Picture Film artifact of the mid-20th century.

As with all of our pieces, a signed and sealed "Certificate of Authenticity”, suitable for framing, is included with your purchase. less
