Vestkam Subminiature Vintage Spy 16mm Camera [Made in Occupied Japan]. Picked this up at an estate sale, looks like there is still film in the camera so I didn’t open it.
This is a vintage Emson subminiature camera. Comes with original leather case. Case is a dark yellow ochre color. Camera measures 2 wide. Camera is silver and black. Untested and not sure if contains any old film or not- as I did not open. Would make a great display and conversation piece for the collector!
The product is a vintage subminiature spy camera called HIT, manufactured by Tougodo Optical in Japan during the 1950s. It comes with a film roll and has a format of 14mm x 14mm. The camera measures 1 5/16″ tall, 2″ wide and is 1 5/16 from front to back. I have not tested the camera but the shutter arm works when pressed, the film advance knob works and the lenses are not broken. The back of the camera has a black vinyl decorative covering and half of that has peeled off over time. The camera comes with a roll of 14mm Kiku film. Since I’m not familiar with this type of film I’m not sure if the film has been used or not, the paper starting sleeve is around the actual film. The film for this camera produces 10 – 14mm x 14mm photos. Great for collectors, to display or it may, very possibly, be still usable.
