This system is RARE and complete. Everything here is Mint- Excellent++ condition and beautiful. My Aunt Pauline gave this to me when I was in High School in 1967, it is her Bakelite and Chrome Argus C3 classic from the 1940's. This is a real time-machine, it is the standard C3 kit with flash complete in its box with the manual, instructions and a bunch of 1950s film and flash calculator cards. It is in beautiful shape and could well be displayed in a museum in this condition. Aunt Pauline bought this at the Schwegmann Brothers Giant Super Market in Metairie, Louisiana. Yes, a grocery store with a camera department. This gear is just beautiful and it looks like it came right out the George Jetson's house. It's not only retro-chic but everything is clean and works, this cache is a true collector. The C3 has a simple diaphragm shutter that lets the camera make use of interchangeable lenses. The Argus C3 uses 35 mm format that offers great convenience and speed. With the quiet leaf shutter, this Argus 35 mm camera opens and closes the shutter to expose a photograph. The rangefinder is still accurate and usable and the glass is clean. Drop a roll of 35mm film in and experience what photography was like 75 years ago. Argus C3 449577
