The large majority of these cameras are in black leatherette with silverish painted metal. This one is one of the uncommon ones done in "tweed" covering with black-painted enamel. 

The big selling point of this camera in the 1950s was the selenium exposure meter. The cell is not under the bubbled plastic front, but rather at the back of the large top housing, near the eyepiece of the finder. The meter moves a variable-width slotted "iris" structure to change the exposure. The camera is made of robust cast metal components.

This example is in fair condition. The door in the front (which covers the aperture control for manual operation) shows significant brassing. The black enamel has a few small chips (about 4mm or less in diameter). The large front finder window shows light scratching, apparently from cleaning (see photo 3). The tweed covering (a plastic or rubbery material) appears a bit grimy, and it does not clean up easily. There is a small chip missing from the film lock knob on the bottom (see photo 6). Finally, the top of this camera apparently once had a double "swish-type" logo that is missing from this example. The tweed case is in excellent condition.

This camera is not part of the Argus Museum Collection.
