A friend presented me with this old camera, wondering what it was worth. I'm asking you all the same question.

As a kid I had one just like it. It was my dads.
I'm guessing it's not worth very much.
Ebay keeps prices down on stuff like this
because of availability.
Give it a try and see if it still works.
Could be fun.

These only sell for a few bucks. Many thousand were made and many of them survived. Made from 1939 to 1943 when it became part of the Cadet series. It used either 120 or 620 film. I forget which.

That's because things were built to last a lifetime
back then.

This ones in nice shape. I have a soft spot for these snap shooters. Most all film cameras have little monetary worth now. B2 was Agfa's designation for 120 rollfilm. By all means scrounge a roll and give it a go. The shop that sells it will let you know where it can be processed.
Google has lots of info on this model as well as direction to a manual.

I would guess, maybe 5 bucks if you're lucky.

There is an old story about the guy who left his Agfa unattended for an evening and the next day discovered that one of his kids drew eyebrows over the two ports and a goatee over the Agfa letters.

Mostly $5 - $10 on eBay; some a little more or less, depending on condition.
