Minolta Semi Analogue folding camera

Vintage MINOLTA SEMI folding camera, a classic example of early Japanese camera craftsmanship from Minolta, likely produced in the late 1930s to early 1940s. Equipped with a Nippon Coronar Anastigmat 1:4.5 f=7.5cm lens, this camera displays elegant industrial design with its leather bellows and chrome detailing. This piece was found during home decluttering and has been stored for many years. Operation has not been checked or guaranteed. It shows heavy signs of age, wear, and deterioration of the leather and metal components. The original leather case is included, though it is also aged and cracked. Recommended for use as a display piece or collectible, rather than a working camera. A fine vintage display item for photography enthusiasts or collectors of early Japanese optical instruments. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. Heavy items may be shipped by sea, which may take 1 to 2 months to arrive. The shipping method may vary depending on the item price and size. Sometimes Customs or the delivery company in your country may contact you by phone or email for clearance. Please make sure you are available to respond. If not, the parcel may be returned to me, and reshipping will cost more than twice the original shipping fee. I appreciate your cooperation.
