Got this a while back. Univex Mercury. Works great, but the leatherette needs replacing.

There's no such thing as junk cameras, only unimaginative photographers!

Nice Merc! Even nicer to see the box and instruction manual. I just finished posting some info on my blog about the design and marketing of the Mercury in 1937-38. If you're interested, the URL is http://oldcameras.wordpress.com .
If you're interested in using that camera, there are daylight loading cartridges out there specifically for Mercury and Corsair cameras. I don't have one, but I'm investigating the possibility of hacking a regular 35mm cartridge to make it work.

Best wishes,
Dana
