Vintage Art Deco camera from the 1940’s for the collector. This model exposes twelve 6 x 6 cm square images on 120 film. The lens of its viewfinder is larger in diameter than its taking lens, giving a bright finder image on the hooded matte screen. Spartus used various metal face-plate designs and plastic moldings over the production period. Early examples were made of Bakelite, although later models may have been other plastics. This model has a thermoset plastic body (Bakelite) but the viewfinder cover is a softer non-thermoset plastic. The shutter is a simple Instant/Time type and there is no aperture adjustment possible. The twin-lens reflex provides a 4 x 4cm sized image on a ground glass viewer. It is fitted with a fixed focus lens. It is usually held at waist level to compose the image. There is a certain amount of parallax error for close-up subjects. It does not have a tripod socket.  Have original case and owners manual. Leather case has some scuffs, the strap is missing, all seams all intact one snap has pulled through the cardboard/leather case.   The camera body is in fine condition, no scuffs, scrapes etc.  One screw is missing off the front upper left as per picture.  A rattle inside the camera body suggest the mirror is broken however easy to replace with a higher quality mirror as some camera collectors have already done with this model.

The manual for the flash version of this camera can be found on line.
