This brought back memories! My dad had an Argus C3 that he had won in a PX raffle while in the army. Many of our family pictures were later taken with it. Unfortunately it was stolen from his car. During junior high school I had the opportunity to buy a C3 from a neighbor and used it regularly. In high school photography classes while everyone else had more modern 35mm cameras (Nikon’s, Minolta’s, etc.) I used my C3 and would generally end up in the top three when our photos were displayed for judging.

I still have this camera and this mug has become my go-to for coffee. The quality is excellent.
