From The History Of Photography As Seen Through The Spira Collection, S.F. Spira, Aperture, 2001, ISBN 0-89381-953-0:

Quote:
Fifty exposures, 24-by-24 mm, on perforated and unperforated 35 mm film. ... manufactured in Vienna ... and in Berlin by Robert Glombeck. ... Also in 1925 Le Lutin appeared on the French market. It not only looked like the Amourette, it was the Amourette, bearing a different name plate for sale in France. Beney Fréres were the exclusive agents for it.
