Chronology of cameras Argus

Patent number 2,358,321, filed in 1940 and published in 1944 by Gustave Fassin, protects a camera with a retractable lens mounted on a spring.
The silhouette resembles that of the Argus M, and you can even see the two rivets on the front face.

__________

The Delco 828 is identical to the Minca 28. The model name is a subject of discussion, as some units bear the Argus brand while others do not. The distribution, and possibly the manufacturing, was likely taken over by companies other than Argus. Opinions vary regarding the names of these companies.

McKeown presents it under the brand "Deluxe Products Co."
