Phil, manufacture date was what, somewhere in 1940?
This was in the box lot with the Tower Type-3 and the Bolsey B2... three cameras for Thirty-Two Dollars plus shipping.
There was a chunk of bakelite missing from the edge of the body in the latch area, absolutely not light tight. After cleaning up the camera I cut a double layer of 2mm dense black foam and stuck it to the area alongside the take up spool. With back closure the foam molded itself to fill the gap.
Everything else about the camera seems nice for its age.

For a field test I loaded a fresh roll of ASA 200 and re-visited St. Martin's in High Ridge, then finished it off at home. It was still Spring then.

Film was mailed off to Parsons, Kansas, for wet developing.
It got there shortly after the State of Kansas was closed down for Pandemic control, and it sat in a PO Box for several weeks.
When the lab reopened, it was part of their efforts to catch up on orders.
The negatives and CD are now in the mail bail back to me. Meanwhile, the lab loaded the scan files to a server for me to access and download ahead of time.

After several weeks of developing monotone in Caffenol here in my studio, the color in this set was an eye opener for me.
Let this be a lesson to those who think that you cannot use modern color film in a prewar camera with plain uncoated glass in the lens!
Yes, those cameras can work well with color and no coatings, if the glass is clean!
