Included original pouch case. Produces 1/2 x 1/2 exposures on 16mm film. Don’t miss this chance to own a rare collectible Kodak Matchbox camera. A true museum piece. The Eastman Kodak Company was approached in late 1943 or early 1944 by the United States Office of Strategic Services (forerunner to the CIA) to develop a matchbox sized camera that could be used by agents without detection. Officially called the Eastman M. For match box it has a Bakelite inner body containing the camera’s working parts, the film and the lens assembly. This plastic body slid into an outer metal sleeve. The whole camera (7/8×1 1/2 x 2 3/8 inches 22x38x60mm) was then to fit into a wooden matchbox which are typically smaller 15x40x55mm. The shutter is set to 1/60th second or B for timed exposures. The 25mm f/5 Tessar type lens could be set to f8 (f16 ref William White), adjusted by a small pin. The fixed lens had a focal range of 4.5 feet to infinity. The two foot length of film took 34 exposures. Negative size is 14x14mm. It was originally supplied with several rolls of film, tablets of chemicals, spoon, agitating stick, chamois, and film clips. It could also be used with a special stand and close up lens to copy documents. It was requisitioned with labels like a Swedish or Japanese matchbox or plain for camouflage by the operator. The first model simply loaded roll film, but had jamming problems. The second model uses film spools. Model 1 has three markings 120 degrees apart on the winding knob. Model 2 has only two markings exactly 180 degrees apart. The initial order for 500 cameras was delivered in early 1944. The project remained secret until 1947.

Minox A Submineature Spy Camera ser # 35401. No bigger than the Minox Riga, but lighter due to aluminum outer shell. I have not run a roll of film thru this camera, but everything seems to work fine.. Shutter speeds seem accurate. Push pull is smooth. You can see the shutter fire when you hit the button. When opening the back to load a film cassette, as you push the camera in a little, you can see the film gate open and the sprocket turn clockwise. The viewfinder is clear and you can see the frame lines. Comes with a scale chain. I’m sorry I don’t have a case for it, if your going to shoot, it should have one. A few small scratches.
