The Revere Model 88 8mm film camera, produced between 1940 and 1946 by the Revere Camera Company, was an innovative and affordable option for amateur filmmakers of its time. Designed for ease of use, it features a 12.5mm f/2.5 Cine Velostigmat lens, multiple filming speeds (8, 12, 16, 24, and 32 fps), and manual exposure settings. This compact and durable camera utilizes double 8mm film, providing flexibility for home movie-making enthusiasts. With its hand-cranked motor and textured metal body for secure handling, the Model 88 became a popular choice for capturing family moments and creative projects during the mid-20th century. A true piece of filmmaking history, this camera comes with its original leather case and instruction manual, which shows signs of use.
