The PRIMO-JR was made for less than two years from 1958-59. It is considered to be  the very best  and most attractive "Mini TLR's" and the only model with "Crank-Wind Film Advance and Shutter Setting " Automatic exposure counter and f:2.8 lens,
surpassing even the "Baby Rollei"
and certainly much rarer.
127 film is available on eBay if you intend to use the camera. It will produce Excellent images.
With its hard to find original dark brown leather case in very good usable condition. It has the strap which is also in good condition but will have to be reattached. A competent shoe repair person can easily retore it.
