unknown 35mm SLR from IHAGEE LINDENBLATT 3003

[reijnier]

Hello,

I just bought a rare SLR. On the front of this camera is written in white paint: "IHAGEE, LINDENBLATT 3003". I can not find it on the internet. Any one for a clue?

Withe regards,

Reijnier,
This is a re-badged Revueflex 3003 (Based on Argus CR-1). http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Revue- ... -3003.html
It may have been re-badged by/for Cambridge Camera company. The price should be the same as in the link above, or even lower.

Thank's Diser for your quick replay. These Cambridge Camera Company is in the UK? Can you tell me more about the historie prior to these company/lindenblatt 3003?

Thanks in advance,

Reijnier

Reijnier,
Regarding "Cambridge Camera" it's just a speculation. This is a USA based camera reseller company, located in New York. The owners are Lindenblatt family. In at least one instance they had another camera re-badged for them by Cosina: Lindenblatt KL 2 - http://collectiblend.com/Cameras/Cosina ... -KL-2.html
Lindenblatt (Leaf of Linden I guess) is a semi-popular last name in Germany, also there are Lindenblatt streets all over that country, so it may have been named after them, but I don't think so.
