AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Diplomat Mini Spy Camera ( rare)

Vintage mini-spy camera "Diplomat" from the 1940s-1949, made in Japan.
This is a small jewel from the past. A vintage mini-spy camera from the 40s-50s. 3.8 cm high, 5.7 cm wide and 3.5 cm deep.
It is a special and sought-after collector's item. Although it looks exactly the same as a mini-spy camera from the brand "Crystar", the name "Diplomat" is written in the same place.
These cameras were very popular in the late 40s.
Some were sent to the U.S. by American soldiers who were on leave in Japan during the Korean War, and later examples were imported and sold in the U.S. The camera comes with the original leather case with a small window (to see if there is film inside). No film included.
It is truly a very special little camera, offered very rarely and high on the list for collectors of special cameras.
Comes with the original leather carrying case,
