MIDGE


At first, we thought it was a misspelling of the common Midget "Hit" camera -- or perhaps the Midget Jilona or Mighty Midget .  Afterall, we had never heard of this camera, nor seen any listing for it anywhere.  Then we figured that someone had scratched out the last "T" on the faceplate.  But we were wrong on both counts.  This is the actual name of the camera.  There is nothing unusual about the camera -- other than the name.  It is a garden-variety "HIT"-type camera with two speeds -- I (1/50) and B, fixed aperture (f11), none-focusing lens, takes 17.5mm film.  But if you are a collector of Hit-type cameras, be on the lookout for this one.
