    I've inherited this camera and all I know is it was brought in Germany by my uncle in around 1956.
    It is very unusual I think, it has a compact mirror and a lipstick holder. As far as I know it works if I could get the right film. I'm not sure where to look though.

      Good camera. This is a c1956 Petie Vanity by Kunik (Walter Kunik K.G., Frankfurt, Germany). It is a sub miniature camera housed in a make-up compact body. There are two knobs on top; one is for lipstick while the other for a spare roll of film. Aside from colored leatherette versions, there are beautiful examples with art-deco marbelized finishes.
