LITERARTUR E: James L. Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. III, 1998, p. 347, 348.

Invented in the 1940s by W. Berssenbrugge, an expert in colour and stereo photography, the Leica Tandem TOWIN was originally made for stereo exposures. However, E. Leitz Inc. advertised it in 1949 for simultaneous exposures in black and white and colour photography. Mounted on top, a Leica IIIc no. 516305 with red scale Elmar 3.5/5 cm no. 1090488, on the bottom a Leica IIIc no. 516579 with red scale Elmar 3.5/5 cm no. 1198739 with special winding knob, including a very rare matching case for use with the complete unit, see Lager III, Accessories, page 347 and 348. Extremely rare outfit with the original components, the case is probably unique.

For this items, if sold and/or shipped within the E.C. the premium is 27,37% (including VAT) plus 19% VAT on the hammer price (in total 46,37%)
