lot 254 in our Estate auction – a Minolta 16 MG camera
Toronto. I was a scrawny kid, about 90 pounds soaking wet. The summer I worked for Loblaw Grocers, I earned the nick-name ‘mighty mouse’ after a 100 pound bag of sugar was hoisted on my back and I lugged it around the basement.
Post war, Minolta made subminiature cameras (the mighty mice of the camera world) using their proprietary cassettes and 16mm film. These little beauties mimicked the famous Minox but at a reasonable price.
An example of the Minolta 16 series is shown here (lot 254). Those wanting to include subminiature cameras in their collection could start with the Minolta series.
Lot 254 is just one of many lots in our May 3rd auction. The lots include subminis, digital, 35mm, medium format, really old folders, field cameras and more. Come out on Sunday May 3rd and enjoy the ambiance of a photography auction.
Details and the poster now pinned to this site will remain pinned until the auction begins. Free parking, and attendance.
Friendly folk run the auction and bid in the audience. Join us in a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon – and add to your collection/user gear.
