Postwar Konishiroku  (Konica) Pearlette camera Optor 1:6.3 Untested

Description

Condition: Good
Back marked with "Made in Occupied Japan."
It is said that little more than 10,000 units were assembled in 1946 and 1947.
The
postwar cameras
are hard to distinguish from the 1940 model, and only some examples can be identified for sure, either because they have a plate inscribed "Made in Occupied Japan" riveted to the back, or because they have a different Pearlette nameplate at the front, with a thin chrome frame and a slightly altered typefont, a feature which is said to be found on postwar cameras only.
(Per internet source, search for similar text and you will find out even more about this unique camera.)
Stored in temperature control location. Previous owner purchased, sat undisturbed for decades. Untested for CY 2018.
The lens appears undamaged, but it is untested and we cannot verify the condition. Please see photos.
Please note:
We have not tested the accordion section of the camera, given the age of the camera and potential for damaging the camera.
Shipping:
