Vintage 1950s Photo Master Bakelite Camera
Manufactured in Chicago Illinois in the 1950s, this was a very simple, basic camera that came with a leather case
Camera is in great condition, especially considering its age, the lens in the front is loose and will need to be fixed if you are planning on using the camera
The camera originally had a red plastic type covering over the holes in the back but the covering has disintegrated with age, these holes are for viewing the film numbers as you advance the film, after you take the picture and wind the film, the number that was in the first window will now appear in the second window, there is a 2 underneath the first window and a 1 underneath the second window
The camera uses 127 film which is also referred to as ‘Vest Pocket Film’ and you will get about 16 pictures per roll
The back of the camera snaps into place with two metal clips
50mm Rollax lens
On the side of the lens there is a setting switch for either Instant or Time
On the other side of the lens is the switch for taking pictures, when you depress the switch, the lens does open to take the picture so the camera does appear to be in working condition
5 1/4 inches x 3 3/8 inches x 2 3/8 inches
