Item no. P3333b (postcard)

Type: cover

Country: Czechoslovakia

Date of use: 4 February 1938

Business stationery (postcard, back of) used by the company OPTIKOTECHNA in Prerov. The Optikotechna Optical Works was established in 1933 by Eng. Alois Benes and Professor of physics Dr. Alois Mazurek in Prerov to manufacture darkroom equipment (enlargers and lenses), and (later) optical devices for military purposes. It was seized in 1939 by German occupying authorities and forced to work for the German army until the end of the WW II (1945). After liberation the company was nationalized and renamed to MEOPTA (1946). In the post-war period, the company's production range was expanded to include optical instruments, cameras and film cameras and projectors (e.g. Flexaret, Autoflex, Flexette, Mikroma, Milona, Opema).
