See Double AA battery for size comparison in pic. Includes Camera Rich-Ray 35 Super Start With Case, Manual, Filter, film cases (empty). Camera has not been tested. Nomura Optical Company made the first Start 35 in 1948. From the beginning of the production of the Start II the Ikko-ska name was used. The first Start camera used single film sheaths, each containing one piece of 35mm film. It used bolts film which was a 35mm film with a paper backing rather than sprockets. The film stopped being produced in 1950s, soon after production began. The spool was the same size as a 35mm film cassette, so in theory, you can load some film. The Case seems to be made with some kind of animal skin (maybe crocodile).
