1949 Argo Flex Camera This is a camera made in 1949, which was purchased in Sweden. The camera is a rectangualar black box with two lenses, one to indicate when a picture is ready to be taken and another for the photographer to look through. On the back of the camera there is a red dot that is transluscent and tells the photographer how much unused film is left in in the reel until. To spin the film the photographer turns the small knob on the right side of the camera that you turn after each picture is taken.

This camera was brought in by Sarabeth Breder as a part of a Madison Historical class visit to Liberty Middle School in February 2020.
