Vintage Jilona Midget Spy Camera with Case. The Midget (????) is a Japanese subminiature camera, distributed by Misuzu Shokai from 1937 to the early 1950s. It was initially manufactured by the company Jilona Shokai, named after Nakamura Jiro. Jilona markings are displayed on most cameras, and this is why these models are often called “Midget Jilona”.
