Haka Autoknips II
The "Autoknips II" self timer for ye olde film cameras that don't have one built in. Pictured here with the original instruction sheet which is starting to show its age.....
These are very simple clockwork devices that clip to the end of a shutter-release cable to fire the shutter after a pre-set time has elapsed. This one has a maximum delay of about 12 seconds.
According to my good friend The Internet, these were also pressed into use by the Germans during World War II as delayed triggering devices for booby traps.
