What is this camera ??.

I know the image is poor and it’s only a side shot but there is n estate sale with this camera in it. I am only interested in 120 roll film cameras and this looks like a possible folder.
So anyone got an idea ????

Forgot to mention it’s the one in the leather case. Also curious as to what the black one is behind it ??

The camera in the brown leather case that is turned to the side is almost certainly a 35mm bottom crank Kodak Retina. The camera in the box behind it is a Kodak Tourist. Those are 620 cameras and it will likely have problems with the bellows, the Tourist bellows didn't last. The Tourists sold with a bunch of different lens options. It could have a great lens on it, or a junk lens on it. The shoot 120 in it it would have to be respooled.

Thank you so very much Shawn. They have two Minolta SRT101 and are apparently only asking $25 it really is sad that these old jewels are unwanted today.
Again thank you very much.

Not sure why you think they are unwanted....maybe just not by people who go there. It's your lucky day...buy both. Sell one on eBay and keep the other.

I think Shawn has it - I did wonder if the one in the case might be a Retinette, but the flat front to the case looks like a folding Retina rather than a rigid Retinette.
