Why don't you shoot with it? I have a lot of fun with mine, especially when someone notices it and asks me about it. I love sharing knowledge of film cameras with the younger generation, who are increasingly interested in analog gear and processes.

Just posting ours to torment you !
None of it's going anywhere except
for when that 90mm jumps off the
shelf next time anyone bumps into
the display cabinet ;-)
On serious note, thank you for the
promo spread. Did not have a copy
of that, at least not aware of one.
Have a zillion old magazines here
that might have that .... if anyone
had any time to search. The library
fully occupies the entire third floor
of the ivy covered edifice seen in
the second image. Too much of a
"needle in the haystack" situation.

My favorite is the Signet 40. None of that clunky stuff like stone-age light meters and attempts at rangefinders that try to work with different lenses. The fixed Ektanon lens is radio-active, focuses to 2 feet, shutter speed to 1/400 sec, and very sharp. Pick up a working one for $25; you'll love it!

The Kodak "Medalist" was a bit iconic back in those days I seem to remember.
