Description

I will be dating myself but this is the first camera I ever used. Summer of 1963 we went to Acadia National Park and climbed Cadillac Mountain to see the solar eclipse on July 20th.

Quite the camera. Two view finders so you just turn the camera for landscape or portrait. That's the shutter release at the bottom left. On the back is a sliding door covering red celluloid so when you wound the film you would winfd it to the next frame/exposure number on the 120 film. Nandy leather carrying strap as well. First produced in 1935 I'm guessing this came in to the family in the late 30's or early 40's. Thank God I'm not the original owner.
