Amerex

Marked "AMEREX." and also "Made In Occupied Japan." on the nameplate which makes it unusual as well as the length of the lens barrel. Slightly heavier than the typical HIT type camera, but only with the same quality of construction as other snap to shut cameras like the CMC. The lens barrel is longer at 25mm than most HIT types. Brown as well as the black leatherette has been reported.

The film is supported by a frame that holds both the feed and the take up spool allowing them to be dropped in like a cartridge. This frame as a circle cut out which appears to be only  for allowing the frame counter to be viewed as the back has no pressure plate.
