Camerawerk Sontheim was one of the early iterations of the company that became Nettel.*From www.camera-wiki.org/wiki/Nettel "Nettel Camerawerk was a camera maker in Sontheim am Neckar, in southern Germany. The company was founded by Robert E. Mayer and Max Körner in 1902, as Süddeutsches Camerawerk Körner und Mayer. It was renamed Camerawerk Sontheim in 1904, and again to Nettel Camerawerk in 1908. It was famous for its patented Nettel strut folding cameras, with focal plane shutters. This also gives a clue as to the age of the camera
