Original Description:
Hello. For the discerning Minoxcollector I have on offer this week an exceedingly rare all original Minox IIWetzlar early subminiature camera complete with a Complan 15mm f/3.5 lens, theoriginal Minox measuring chain, and the original leather case. Camera Serial #21727. The presence of the “film lens” or 5-Element lens has beenverified making this a scarce all original Minox II camera. Out of the original13000 of these cameras produced it’s estimated that there are less than 1000... ofthese cameras remaining in all original condition. Additionally, the shutterblades are black and the filters do not automatically retract when the camerais collapsed. The housing of this particular example is in excellent conditionexhibiting some light signs of use that includes some minor blemishing, scratching, and brightlining on the most vulnerable of surfaces. The secondarytopplate immediately encircling the shutter speed and focusing wheels has beendiscolored slightly by handling. The same discoloration is present on thesecondary baseplate as well – See photographs. The shutter speed dial as wellas the focusing ring both adjust smoothly. The frame counter advancesappropriately and the filters adjust and sit in place properly. The shutter isnot firing and therefore hasn’t been tested for accuracy. As such, a CLA is inorder and given the rarity of the camera I would prefer that the new ownerchooses their preferred Minox technician. There is some hazing and dust presentwithin the viewfinder as well that should also be addressed during a CLA. Themeasuring chain is in good vintage condition and the leather case is in roughcondition with the metal chain stop having separated from the case. Don’t missyour chance to own this all original Minox II camera – A crowning jewel for anyserious Minox collection. Please read, re-read, and fullyunderstand what you are bidding on prior to placing your bid. I am always buying, selling, andtrading rare, esoteric, and difficult to find antique, vintage, and classiccamera equipment.
