Vintage Kodak Instamatic 500 Film Camera, Eastman Kodak, Germany

The Kodak Instamatic 500 camera was manufactured from 1963 to 1965 and uses 126 film cartridges. It features a 38mm f/2.8 Schneider Xenar lens and has a coupled Gossen selenium-cell light meter and a Compur leaf shutter with speeds from 1/30th to 1/500th of a second. This is a high-quality camera manufactured in Germany, with a brushed metal body and original black leather case with metal bracket.

In overall excellent condition, however we can not guarantee it will work as new, and we have made no attempt to open or test, since it still contains a roll of film, with some exposures left. Is it worth taking some pictures to see what develops? A rare opportunity for a unique 1960's camera.
