Argus C3 35mm Rangefinder Camera With 50mm Cintar Lens Leather Case Untested

This Argus C3 is a classic American-made 35mm rangefinder camera featuring the well-known Cintar 50mm f/3.5 lens and the distinctive “Brick” body design favored by collectors and vintage photography enthusiasts.  The camera shows exterior wear, oxidation on metal hardware, corrosion along edges, aging on leather components, and untested mechanical function, with the original case and folding instruction sheet included.  The C3 platform uses interchangeable lenses within the Argus mount system, a rangefinder focusing mechanism, and manual shutter and aperture controls, providing a hands-on photographic experience for film users or restoration hobbyists.  This camera is suitable for collectors, display, vintage decor, film-camera tinkerers, and those interested in restoring classic mechanical cameras for functional or aesthetic use.  Argus cameras were highly popular mid-century models known for their durability, boxy construction, and widespread accessibility, making the C3 a recognizable staple in vintage American film history.  Untested camera with exterior wear, oxidation, corrosion, and aging throughout but includes original case and manual. Sold as is. As always, open to offers.
