Argus Color-Matic C3 35mm Film Camera
Includes the camera, original leather case,
and Argus Flash Unit.
Based on the serial number this camera was made in 1955.
***Add a really neat camera to your collection at a great price!
The camera works just fine (shutter, film advance, levers) and
the viewfinder window is bright and sharp. There is some
dust visible inside the view/rangefinder but the focus is easy
and clear.
The lens looks bright and I see only a few specs of dust and dirt.
The aperture adjusts properly and the blades look good.
The flash unit has not been tested - no bulbs are available to do so.
It takes two 'C' cell batteries (not included).
There is no corrosion inside the unit.
The leather case looks great but over time a few stitches
have come undone. The half case is a great way to
use the camera as it provides a good grip.
The camera has not been tested with film so I'm selling
it for display, repair, restoration, parts, or limited use.
I see no reason why it wouldn't function as designed.
One previous owner. I purchased this from the estate
of a long-time camera collector who was a retired Army colonel.
All of his photo gear is in excellent to mint condition.

Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
Yes, just let us know and we'll work something out. No need to pay for shipping more than once.
Yes, but with some exceptions. No returns on custom-made items. Part two - we will gladly accept a return within 14 days as long as it is returned to us in the same condition as when we sent it to you. Specifically, if an item is new and unused and in its original box and packaging it must be returned in an unused and unopened condition. Vintage and classic cameras, lenses, and certain pieces of vintage photogear carry no warranties or guarantees. By their very nature, older cameras are just that, old, and their electronics, levers, knobs, buttons, and dials can fail at any time. Let us know if you are returning something, maybe we can reach an agreement short of a full return. Part three - you will always pay for return shipping. Thanks
Always! Carol and I take great care (and pride) in packaging your purchase. We are mindful of being "green" but often times green doesn't protect your package properly. We have been shipping items safely since 2003. We must say, however, that we are not responsible for mishandling by the carrier(s) or loss of an item. Most items and especially valuable items will always have insurance added.
We are on Etsy almost every day and the best way to get our attention is by starting an Etsy convo. We'll answer you quickly. We're generally in the shop until 11 PM EST.
Yes, we do. Just let us know what you want or are looking for and we'll see if we can make it happen.
We think we have everything priced properly but we are here to make a sale and keep our customers happy. Let us know if you want to make an offer on something. I'm sure we will find a way to reach an accord.
