AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered a very rare and sought-after Aiglon subminiature camera from around 1934, produced in France. This extremely compact "spy camera" is a beautiful historical object for the serious collector of early miniature photography. This particular example is unique because it is mechanically fully functional and comes with the extremely scarce, original internal film spools.
