Robin

The Robin is a bar style camera. The lens is protected with a hinged door, in a style that was later seen in the Gami 16. This door is often missing. It has a  simple fixed focus lens and shutter speeds of B and 25-100.

There is a similar camera called the Lovely, made about the same time and having enough styling and features in common that they may have had the same roots. Rare in Japan these cameras are not often found in the west.
