VERY COOL AND VERY RARETOWER 39 AUTOMATIC 35 MADE BY MAMIYA FOR SEARS 1961 CAMERA IS UNTESTED SHUTTER WORKS FILM ADVANCE MECHANISM WORKS FILM LOAD DOOR STICKS AS IS ITEM IN PHOTOS IS AS IS ITEM YOU WILL RECEIVEFrom vintagecameralab.com:"The Tower 39 Automatic 35 is an unusual looking fixed-lens viewfinder camera manufactured in Japan as the Mamiya Automatic 35 EEF and rebadged for sale in America under the Sears, Roebuck & Company’s Tower brand. As one of the largest retailers in the world at the time, Sears sold a huge variety of cameras including those that it arranged to have sold under its own in-house brands. As far as cameras go, the Tower 39 has a fairly unique design: alongside its lens is a single-use flashbulb holder, making it the very first Japanese-made camera to feature a built-in flash. The rotating ring around the Mamiya-Tower Kominar 45mm f/3.8 lens adjusts focus with handy zone settings for those that would rather not bother with measuring distances.
