Chronology of cameras Obergassner
The company was founded at the end of the 19th century by Michael Obergassner from Munich. He is listed in the 1902' Annuaire du commerce et de l'industrie photographiques under general supplies. During the 1910s, he patented several processes related to color photography.
Mr. Obergassner was also a photographer, and it's relatively easy to find cartes de visite-sized photos from his studio located at Kaufinger Strasse 14 in Munich.
The company struggled to survive the Second World War and was eventually acquired during the 1960s. It then became a distributor, and all its cameras were branded as "OGA," regardless of the model or the original manufacturer. The competition from Asian manufacturers ultimately put an end to the camera business. The company refocused on film sales and processing.
The cameras sold by Obergassner came from well-known German manufacturers such as Franka or Regula.

Traduction de Manuel M
As usual, the Obergassner dealer is satisfied to name his camera OGA what does not facilitate the distinction of the models between them. It is about a Super-Frankarette L1 manufactured by Franka.
It has a small selenium cell in fronting which makes it possible to measure a value of exposure to putting back on the barrel of the lens, which will give a series of couples of speed-aperture among which it will not any more remain to choose. On the camera presented, it misses the small trap door closing partially the cell for the measurement of the high lights.
