- Description
- A small black box folding camera. On the top of the camera is a set of two hinged latches which open the back panel of the camera (the leather is separating from the camera). There is also a bump on the top of the camera that when pressed releases the front panel of the camera that reveals the folding lens, tracks, and a viewfinder near the top of the panel. There is no lens, and the silver metal lens holder is separated from the red bellows. On the other side of the front panel is a hole which a tripod can be screwed into. There are also two small holes on either side of the camera near the top, possibly for a strap.
