RARE FIND a Gami 16 subminiature camera. It was manufactured by Officine Galileo of Milan. The serial number is 340375. Also, made for an American/English Market with focus ring measures in feet. ASA up to 100 puts it I believe in the earlier models. These cameras were made in from 1954 into the 1960's. Some reading on the internet suggests that less than 5000 cameras where made between 1953 and 1965, making it one of the rarer production cameras... made. This one appears clean, shutter appears to work, the filter moves back and forth with the lever. Case opens and closes. Rangefinder appears pretty clean to look through. Lens marked Esamitar 11.9/25. The various setting dials appear to turn. Please be aware operation of this camera is not guaranteed.
Great gift for camera collector without going thru all the antique stores to find one. Its a conversation starter for sure.
