Vintage Bell & Howell"319" 8MM Movie Camera with Leather Case (circa 1953)

8mm cine camera from the 50s, by US Manufacturer Bell & Howell - The 319 'Sun Dial' 1953. Mechanical film spools work. It was designed and manufactured in the same era as the Eumig C3R - this camera has a far more 'mass produced' quality about it - with simpler lines, fewer cast or milled pieces, and generally lower quality surfaces and materials. It's another hand-wound, clockwork, standard 8mm movie camera, with a fixed Super Comat f 1.9 / 10mm lens. Film speed is fixed at 16 fps.
