I have had this chair since 1976 and my Grandmother had it in her home for many years. I do not know the story of it. I have kept it un used in my home since. It needs repair it is not stable, just wabbles front to back needs structure strength. A piece was broken off, still have it. I was going to have it referbished but like the original cloth and am afraid to do so. I need to know the history and value of it if I am to get it fixed. Should I fix it?

I would like to know the real history or origin and date of this item.

This was an item I aquired via Craigslist.  The original owner of the camera knew very little about it.  My research of the item indicates it comes from the 1950's and was originally sold for an average price of 40 to 50 dollars when it premiered in the 50's.  It was produced in München Germany.  Evrything on the camera functions, it has no light leaks and no corrosion, the lens is free and clear of fungus and or scratches.  I would classify the camera as being in excellent condition.
