Voigtländer Perkeo I is a medium format viewfinder folding camera made by Voigtländer and produced between 1951-55.
The Perkeo means a pigmy. The pre-WW2 model was Perkeo 3x4. The post-WW2 models of Perkeo were very compact and light cameras for use of medium fomat true to Perkeo's name. They just look like normal 35mm cameras.
