With emphasis on the "Toy" part! This was acquired perhaps as early as 1957 or so at a tourist trap emporium on the boardwalk in a New Jersey seashore town. It takes 16 mm unperforated film with paper backing, rolled on a metal spool — just like 120 — only a heluva lot smaller.
Two shutter speeds: "Instantaneous" and "Bulb."
It does actually take pictures, but not all that well. It gets ten frames about 1/2 x 5/8 (1.28 x 1.60 cm) on a roll. Out of six rolls found here, all looking a bit abused, there were very few worthy shots, but we salvaged a few.
