This is an original 1957 magazine print advertisement for the Argus C-3 35mm camera and the L-3 light meter!
The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. The camera sold about 2 million units, making it one of the most popular cameras in history.
