THREE Vintage Antique Cameras. Germany IHAGEE, USA Bakelite KANDOR & ARGUS 35mm

Description: Here are THREE old Cameras, from the 1930's to 1940's --- a German Ihagee Folding Bellows camera from the early 30's, a "sardine can" Irwin Corp KANDOR and an Argus A3 35mm camera from the early 1940's. Great pieces for a collection or decor. I'm no expert on these cameras but with some rudimentary examining, I can tell you this---- structurally, they are all nice and solid---no broken or missing parts that I can see, except for some leather on two front sections of the Kandor. But there's some general wear from age & use--- I'll try to specify. The Kandor is missing two patches of leatherette on front left & right of the lens. It also has some rust/corrosion on the metal levers in front, and I suspect inside because it's the only one that doesn't really want to work. But aside from that--- the rest is pretty good and all there. The Ihagee looks very good--- a little general age wear & tear too, but all complete. It opens/closes a little wonkily--- needs a little jiggle--- but it looks good all around except for expected wear from 80 years. The shutter fires well, and the lens glass looks nice--- no seperation are bad fog. And it has a badge attached from the original Camera Store where it was sold in pre-war Germany. The Argus is very nice too--- there are a good amount of paint chips on the black trim, a couple of faint scuffs but nothing broken. Mechanically, the shutter cocks & fires and the lens glass looks great and the winding and closing functions are all fine. And it has a real nice leather Case. So overall, they are a decent lot in Very Good condition... well except for the Kandor. It is unknown how well they may be to actually Use though. They have not been tested extensively beyond what I describe and what is shown in the photos and I may have also missed some details. So they may not be in perfect condition to shoot pictures with, but are in nice collectible condition considering their ages and wear and tear. Assume they are NOT New or Perfect--- but they are pretty nice. What you see is what you'll get--- the actual items for sale are pictured... please examine the photos. Continental US Shipping will be $13.50. It will be packed well and safe. International Shipping via the ebay program. PLEASE READ THIS--- By Buying this you also Agree with this: Reality check.... I am not Amazon or a professional Store seller--- just a camera collector and collector of various other things selling a surplus of Used items. I'm not here trying to rip anybody off or sneak one past you. But that said... I'm not into having things go back and forth based on Opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. So it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, No Try-outs, No Returns--- being sold as is, as old relics with flaws---- they all may be good only for parts. I sell OLD, Used items and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every every millimeter of it, so there may be a nick or blemish or a couple specs of dust that I failed to mention... but they would hardly diminish it... unless you expect everything to be 100% Perfect and Like New. Repeat--- these are Very Old, Vintage, Antique, Used items so it can't be as new--- being sold for collectible purposes, or for Parts or Repair--- Not in Perfect Condition or as perfectly working cameras made recently. What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown. SEE MY OTHER Listings FOR MORE Interesting Items---- Lots of Photography and Camera stuff.
