The Foth Deluxe (6x9) Roll film Camera was manufactured by F.C. Foth & Co. from 1930 to the 1940s. This was the same camera as the regular 6x9 roll film camera except it was covered with alligator pattern leather, colored either brown or green. It was capable of capturing 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch (6x9cm) exposures on standard 120 roll film. The 1930 version had a single horizontal pull knob for manual extending the bellows. Later version had two vertical knobs. It was fitted with a Doppel Anastigmat f4.5, 105mm lens with a Foth Shutter providing 1/25 to 1/100th of a second speed or beginning in 1931 the company began to offer a faster shutter with speeds from 1/25 to 1/300th of a second which was boldly marked "DERBY" on the top. Additionally, a Tessar f4.5 105mm lens in a compur shutter offering speeds of 1 to 1/300th of a second was another lens/shutter option available. In addition to the existing brilliant finder, a wire frame finder was also introduced in 1931.
