About the Item

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NOTE: This Antique May Qualify For Our GALLERY WIDE ~EXTRA~ 10-20% OFF SALE, Going On NOW. Please Inquire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Submitted for your consideration, a very nice early Arriflex 35mm-2 or possibly an 'A' version, 35mm reflex motion picture camera complete with a vintage wood tripod with factory tripod head and high hat adapter, factory eyepiece, white faced tachometer, red synthetic gate, factory original metal lens port caps, factory 400' film magazine, factory original matte box - sunshade and a factory camera motor. These Arriflex 35 cameras were in use in the 1930s, 1940s and this version came out in the 1940s. Lenses are not included but we have a nice selection for you to consider as an accessory for your display. This is a German made camera that became the standard of the Motion Picture Industry Worldwide as the Mid-Century portable 35mm camera of choice. This camera was repainted some 20 years ago with a heavier correct style wrinkle paint finish that is thicker than the original factory wrinkle paint finish. But it is very presentable and looks pristine. Please let us know if you have any questions on this very historical cinema camera. NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted and intended to be at 'Designer Net' and 'To The Trade' price levels. However, we ALWAYS welcome discussions and exploration of your budgetary requirements and how we MAY be able to help meet those cost targets with ADDITIONAL discounts or courtesies. “Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.” About Our Firm: We specialize in CERTIFIED cinema equipment antiques and artifacts circa 1900 to 1969 and beyond, representing the Art Nouveau, Machine Age, Art Deco, Industrial Age and Mid Century Periods.

While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy.
