Vintage 1950's Argus C3 "The Brick" 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera, Made in USA

$38.00

This classic 1950's Argus C3 "The Brick" 35mm Camera in excellent vintage condition, and priced accordingly. Cocking lever sets shutter and shutter fires. This camera is 65+ years old, we can't guarantee it will work as new, it has not been film tested, and there has been no attempt to clean or alter the condition. An amazing gift for the discriminating vintage camera collector, or a top tier shelf-sitter.
