This uncommon Japanese TLR was sold circa 1957, apparently in three versions differing in their film-advance mechanisms. The top version offered automatic crank film advance which also cocked the shutter.[1].
No manufacturer's markings are present on the camera itself. McKeown's attributes an Autoflex camera to "Kiyabashi Kogaku"[2] a name which is otherwise unknown. The attribution of this model to Tokiwa Seiki follows Barry Toogood's TLR-cameras.com[3].
