Chronology of cameras Cord
Cameras manufactured by Cord are easily recognizable due to their poor quality of construction and technical simplicity.
While the Super Cord is made of metal, the majority of their production is made of cardboard. The Cord 47 comes in several variants due to minor modifications. The decorative plate around the lens can have embossed characters in one variant, but in another, they are screen-printed. In yet another variant, the decorative plate is the same, but the film winding key is replaced with a knob. It is difficult to determine whether these are deliberate variations or a result of inventory management difficulties.
It is clear that Cord may have pushed the boundaries by creating variants where the only difference is the name mentioned in the instruction manual.
Interestingly, one can notice a strong resemblance to the Box Tengor cameras by Zeiss Ikon in the design, characterized by three stacked circles.
The technical features of the Cord 47 are very limited. It is a dual-format camera, with two red windows on the back for both 6 x 9 cm and 6 x 4.5 cm formats. A slider located under the lens allows the selection of one of three aperture settings. This diaphragm consists of __________
This 6 x 9 cm cardboard box is of very poor quality.
On this example, under the lens, the name of the optician supplier appears.
Its successor, the Cord 47, will not be any better.
