Art Deco Masterpiece - Purma Special
First made in England in 1937, this Art Deco style camera, with a Bakelite body, has an unusual gravity driven exposure mechanism.
It's one of the iconic Art Deco cameras I selected for my Top 10 most beautiful Art Deco cameras in this video:

The camera uses square (1 1/4 x 1 1/4) 127 film. Tilt the body one way and the exposure time is slow (1/50s). The other way and it's fast (1/450s). Hold the camera straight and it's medium (1/150s).
