Chronology of cameras Coronet

Traduction de Daniel Clément.

This Coronet camera has been manufactured , under license, by Tiranty *(Paris). It is a box made from strong cardboard, quite similar to the Goldy of the same time (after war). The pull knob visible at left allows a yellow filter to be put in place. The pull knob located above makes the choice between snap shot and exposure.

* Philippe Tiranty was a photographer and a son of photographer. He started in a shop in Nice, his birth town. He died in 1973, at the age of 89. His offices were located Rue Lafayette, in Paris, then Rue de la Michaudière
