These were expensive when new, a luxury model, I thing they tried to make them pretty to appeal to women.

Congrats on a great find, I look forward to samples.

Thank you! We are still pretty good in pre-war items, thanks for wall , people did respect old stuff and care about them, just like Cuba with old cars.

Another point for Red Star over Uncle Sam Laughing Wink
Camera is very interesting. Side to side with modern P&S is funny Laughing

Funny indeed, in 1930 people could make same size camera than todays, compact and Sony compact is broken, it was dropped and lens did stop working. Colibri say thanks I am fine and I work after 80 yrs too.
