This vintage Petal MINIATURE camera is a unique piece of history that comes with its original box and instructions. With a stylish silver color and made in OCCUPIED JAPAN, this camera is a must-have for collectors of vintage cameras and photography enthusiasts alike.
Featuring the brand name PETAL and made with high-quality craftsmanship. Signed in two locations " Made in Occupied Japan" on the outer edge and the inner brass disc as seen in the photos. Originally known as the world's smallest non-medical camera, its compact size and durable design make it a great addition to any collection, and its country/region of manufacture in Japan adds to its authenticity. The round body of the camera (not including the viewfinder and shutter) measures 1-1/8 inches in diameter. Comes with a repaired wood box and original instruction sheet that measures about 7-1/2 inches wide and about 10 inches long. Be sure to magnify all the photos as they give a good idea of overall condition. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to own a piece of photographic history.
The four cameras I have listed are all from the same owner. They each appear to function as far as winding, changing shutter speeds, f-stops and activating the shutter. Please note that I have designated them as untested because I have no idea what they would produce for photographs or if timing and precision are as they should be. They are worthy of a nice camera collection but I have no way of knowing if they are worthy as a functional tool.
