It is similar to a model made under the Decoudun name around 1890. Sold in the UK by F.G. Phillips.

These were sold as focusing screens for cameras or for giving a matt finish when drying prints.

These are for carrying undeveloped plates when on expeditions. Primarily intended for use in the tropics they were an alternative to packing the exposed plates in their cardboard boxes. On this example there is a double lid to keep the plates light-tight and air-tight.

Omnica were one of the best camera cases of the early post-war era. They were made for either a particular camera (e.g. Leica, Contax) with a fixed layout or in a 'universal' design for non-specific cameras, these had movable fittings and clamps.

The interior of early cases was finished in suede later fabric was used. The exterior leather was smoother on early models later a heavily grained leather was used. Filters were held by either clips or elastic strips.

A device to measure the rulings of half-tone prints. The Lineometer is placed over the print and revolved, at one place along the scale symmetrical moire patterns will be seen. Designed by M.J. Servais.
