Question
I have a camera (see photo attached)that I would like some information on. It was my fathers and I believe it is over 50 years old and is in great condition.

Angie,
Hello and thanks for the question.
Your camera was made between 1937 and 1939. It was a mass produced consumer level camera. I believe they were actually made in Canada.
As these cameras were mass produced, and you can no longer get film for them, they have no real value. I've got several similar machines and I paid less than $10 UDS for them. They are fun to decorate bookshelves with!

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
