The seller bought if for display in Germany in the 1980s so goodness knows when it last was used with film. I believe these were produced stating in 1929.
According to Grahame Newman's site
"The company Neizoldi & Kramer was founded in Germany around 1925; from then till the late 1930s.
Little of this early cine equipment arrived in the UK. But we do see that a UK distributor, Peeling & Van Neck Ltd of 4/6 Holborn Circus, London, E.C.1 began importing some of the Cine Nizo cine equipment in the 1930s. [An advert] shows that certainly models 'F'; 'K' and 'M' of their 9.5mm cine cameras were certainly available in the UK. Prices were rather high compared to 9.5mm cine cameras from companies like Coronet, Dekko and Pathéscope meaning UK Cine Nizo sales must have been quite low."
I'm told it's a very rare camera to find in the UK.
The claw mechanism is lovely: Video here:
