The Balda Lisette was launched in 1936 and sold by Photo Porst(Hans Porst,Nu:rnberg,Germany) which was a dealer of many brands of cameras and had their own products made with the name "Hapo". It seemed that the "Lissete" was their own brand variant of "Baldax" supplied by Balda Werk. The Camera seems to be a similar to "Baldax" which is 6x6 common Balda cameras.(Thanks Mr.Christian M. Senet for the Photograph and Informations).
