$3,500 CAD VERY RARE "MINOX RIGA" spy camera. Serial number 08798 dates this one to 1939-1940 production.

These were used by the Allies (MI6, OSS etc.), as well as by the Nazis, Soviets (KGB, GRU) (who played on both sides) etc. This one is complete with the even more rare special Minox leather purse. Both camera and purse appear to be in excellent condition. The purse is not damaged and has been with the camera for a long time as the leather has moulded itself to the camera. The zipper is fine and the camera seems to operate normally though I have not tested it with film but I have no reason to doubt that it would work. I purchased this camera in Portland, Oregon some years ago. It is thus very possible that it was used by the OSS in WWII. It comes with one film cartridge. The Crypto Museum states that "Minox Riga cameras are extremely rare today and the ones that have survived are often in deteriorated condition. ...eBay ... cameras are often built from post-war spare part finds." My camera appears to be all original and in excellent condition.

Petrol Oil Water (POW) can, 2-gallon. "PETROL" Canadian 1943 & 1944 dated with cap, missing securing chain. Now very hard to find in decent condition. Surplus dealers had a lot of these in the early 1970s, but Princess Auto for example crushed them as scrap metal. Often mistakenly called "Flimsies", these are before the Jerricans were copied from the Germans. The flimsies were even flimsier and larger. These fit in the under body racks of early CMPs before the Jerricans became standard. These were also used for water cindensing can for Vickers Machine Guns Mk. I. RARE now.
