I only know about these cameras, what I can read on them.
The small one: "ROBOT Star" - Germany - The lens: 3379062 Schneider-Kreuznach Xenon 1:1,9/40.
The big one: "ROLLEIFLEX" 1255790 - Synchro- Compur - Franke & Heidecke - Braunschweig; the lens says: Seiss-Opton Nr899207 - Tessar 1:3.5 f=75 mm. Made in Germany. The top of it has to be open to see what are you going to take the photo of. And on the back it has the instructions of Exposure, Sunlight, May to August 9 am to 3 pm, etc. ; on the bottom of that it says: March, April, Sept., Oct., or no sun: 2x. It sure is different from the new ones. I like old things.

Bonjour Maria
I used the Rolleiflex during several years; it was the last camera of my father who gave it to me a lot of years ago.The lens Tessar was made by Zeiss, one of the best german lens manufacturer.The film was 6x6 cm but could be transformed with a mask into 4,5 x 6 cm.I used to develop the film myself (B&W).It was the camera of great reporters after the second world War and also of great french well-known photographers.
I can tell you more details you would ask
Have a nice day

Nice old cameras & good shot. My parents used to use a Rolliflex & Rollicord all the time. They're great cameras.
