The Argus Electric Eye Instant Load 364 was produced during the final years of Argus camera manufacturing under Sylvania ownership, built in Germany by Balda-Werke. The "Instant Load" designation referred to the drop-in 126 cartridge format Kodak introduced in 1963, which eliminated the need for threading film in the dark and made photography truly foolproof for the casual shooter. The gold finish variant is an attractive display piece regardless of operating condition. The AG-1 flashbulbs, Hoya filter, and Ednalite close-up lens are all genuine vintage new-old-stock accessories that will appeal to collectors and prop stylists alike.

All items sold as-is. Camera untested. Film is expired. Flashbulbs appear unused but are vintage and untested.
