Prontor Self-Timer - Camera Accessory

This is a Prontor self-timer cable release designed for use with vintage cameras. Collectors and film photographers value it for adding timed exposures without touching the shutter button.

Prontor self-timers were produced by Alfred Gauthier in Germany during the mid-20th century. They provided a mechanical delay mechanism that attached to a camera's cable release socket, allowing the photographer to step into the frame or avoid camera shake on long exposures.
