ADOX Polo
Camera manufactured between 1960 and 1963 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ADOX Polo was a consumer-class, viewfinder camera with a completely manual operating system. It was manufactured between 1960 and 1963. Dr C. Schleussner Fotowerke GmbH was installed during WW2 in the stolen Wirgin camera factory of Wiesbaden, Germany. The three Wirgin brothers who were the founders and owners of the Wirgin company, were forced to leave Germany when the Nazis seized their factory before the Holocaust and installed ADOX. After the war, the Wirgin brothers returned to Germany, reclaimed their factory and continued business producing the Edixa and subsequent models.
