The Argus 164 very basic fixed focus model for 126 film cassettes. It was made by Balda in Germany for Argus. The exact naming is muddled, as the the camera says "Argus Instant Load 164," the manual has "Carefree Instant Cartridge Loading 164," and the box "Argus 164k Carefree."
What appears to be a selenium meter is a dummy; shutter speed and aperture are fixed for average outdoors illumination.
