Not many companies were producing cameras in 1945 when I was born (except Kodak, of course). This is as close as I can get. First model Akarette (serial number 175 from early 1947). Although early, it is in the full 24x36 format. It may have been converted. BTW, the serial numbers on these early Akarettes may be found stamped on both the front and back body castings. The number on the back shell is behind the elaborate exposure guide on the back. To find the front shell number, you have to remove the shutter/finder module.

Not much made in 1945 because of the War but I just bought this 1945 Kodak 35 Rangefinder. I tested it today and everything is working. The rangefinder is accurate and one of the best I have used in any camera.
