Made in Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1954 to 1958, the Super Seventy-Five is distinguished by two things: the brown Bakelite body at a time when nearly every competing box camera was black, and the pseudo-TLR face โ€” two lens openings on the front, a top-viewing groundglass โ€” that gives it the visual profile of something considerably more serious than a fixed-focus box camera.

Argus Super Seventy-Five, brown Bakelite pseudo-TLR

It is not a true TLR. Focus is fixed. But the Argus Coated Lumar f/8 65mm lens is present and undamaged, and the cosmetics are excellent โ€” body very clean, face label crisp, viewfinder clean. Uses 620 roll film. Flash shoe attachment and strap included.

Condition: Untested, sold as-is. Included: Camera, flash shoe attachment, and strap. Price: $22 CAD. Pickup preferred; shipping available.

One of the more visually distinctive American box cameras of the 1950s.
