Hi, I recently bought a vintage metal camera tripod and I can't find an ounce of information on the net about it. I got it to go with my Kine Exakta camera as part of a vintage camera outfit.

The tripod is all-metal with black painted legs and says "Tower" as well as "Made in Germany". The legs telescope and are round metal tubes. The feet are not plastic or rubber, but rather metal points that are somewhat claw-like. The top is small and circular with the screw mount in the middle of the circle. There is no control lever for the top. The ball at the top that aims the camera is locked in place via a screwing metal loop. Anyone familiar with this piece of equipment? It's in pretty nice shape and everything works well. It seemed to be a nice old piece of German equipment that would suit and Exakta setup nicely. Thanks for the help.
