This one is marked $47 the markings on the lens say ANASTIGMAT BERTHIOT
Cool if for nothing else but decoration if you ask me.

Looking at the front of that brings back memories of my father teaching me how he would take photos with a very similar camera. Take the light meter and take a reading of the main attraction in the shot, maybe a face. Then from that number dial it in on the back of the meter what speed you could get up to. Open the camera to F 6.3 and you could take a speedy 1/100th of a second exposure and it might be crisp if no one moved and you were on a tripod.
I still have the camera. I wonder where the light meter went? The flashbulbs were the coolest. Glass balls filled with filament, probably something like magnesium. They did pop!
