I had one of these as a kid, in the early 1970s. It was my first 35mm camera, and I'm sure I was given it because someone got it cheap or free. As the article states, they were made in huge numbers, and even now, there's still a lot of them flaoting around. It was kind of a pain to use because it wasn't it good condition.

(Later, my dad gave me his Nikon F, which I still have, so bye-bye Argus).
