Canter Beauty & Canter S 50mm f1.9 unknown model

[frank-g]

I recently gug this Canter camera out of a box of cameras i put aside for a later day.. it has the canter s f1.9 45 mm lens , the camera is faulty winds but does not cock , the thing i am curious about is it has a black rewind crank, and black cover on the wind on crank and i cant find the model the serial number is very low 3935, doe anyone have any clue as to what model the camera is. It is rather scruffy at the moment...

Late 1950s rangefinder camera. One of those Japanese camera manufacturers who produced many affordable but rather unexciting 35mm cameras.

Beauty cameras are more well known for their Beautyflex TLR cameras - some of them are actually very nice 👍
