I have one of these little 35 folders with a drop-down fold-out lens, a 5cm 6.5, I think, three shutter speeds. I don't know much about them, though I understand few were made. Anyone know the value of it, and if it's a good picture taker? It's guesstimate focus, I think, and the viewfinder is tiny.

This has been sitting here for a long time with no information so far
The Type 147 was the very first Retinette made 1939-40 It differs from the later folding retinettes in that the lens cover was downward opening. Its original list price was $59.50
I have found a listing on Ebay for GBP149.00 buy now but don't know what the date is Another Ebay auction ended Feb 2012, US$52
I hope this is of some help
