Scope and content

Item is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by the Argus Camera Corporation. The C3 model was produced by the company from 1939 to 1966. The serial number on this camera, 1473750, indicated this one was manufactured in 1956. The camera has the same rectangular design shared by the other C models, often called "the brick", and is Bakelite and metal with an Argus Coated Cintar 50mm f3.5 lens. To focus the camera, the rangefinder wheel is adjusted until the images in the split screen rangefinder viewer line up.
