Chronology of cameras ACMA
The ACMA (Australasian Camera MAnufac.turers) built at least two camera models; more precisely, two variations of the same model distinguished by the small plate around the lens. The bakelite material can come in various colors.
One thing is surprising: the shape and position of the shutter release. How do you trigger it without obstructing the viewfinder?
The model appears in advertisements from 1948 and disappears after 1950. The manufacturer seems to have had a relatively short existence. The reproduced notice below suggests that liquidation occurred before 1957.
THE AUSTRALASTAN CAMERA MANUFACTURERS PTY. LIMITED.—Notice is hereby given pursuant to section 273 of The Companies Act, 1936, that a meeting of creditors of the abovenumed Company will be held in the Meeting Room of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (Aust.), at 6 Wynyard-street, Sydney, on Wednesday, the thirty-first day of May, 1950, at 8.30 o'clock in the afternoon, for the pur-poses mentioned in sections 273, 274 and 275 of the said Act. —Dated this twenty-sixth day of May, 1950.
