I came across a 1950's Wards 35-EE 35mm camera in a Goodwill Shop. While I dont know much about the history of this particular camera. I can at least describe the camera. If you have one I will certainly appreciate if you would contribute to this writing.
The camera is NON-focusing....there is no focusing mechanism. The camera is completely manual and does not require a battery. There are no markings on the front of the lens. On side of lens there are aperture settings for "MANUAL". Aperture ranges from F4 to F22. There are ISO/DIN markings for "AUTO" mode. ISO ranges from 10 - 100.
There is a cell array around the front of the lens which enables the meter. The meter is nothing more than a needle on the top of the camera. Film is advanced and re-wound using the knobs on top of the camera. The shutter relase is a lever on the side of the lens.
The only markings on the camera are "Wards 35 - EE" and "Made in Japan" on the baseplate. There is a rewind button and tripod socket on the baseplate. Film chambers opens by sliding a clip up (the clips locks the rear door) - clips are found on many vintage camera's.
