The Beirette Junior is an inexpensive 35mm camera of West German manufacture. During the cleaning process on this camera the date of manufacture was found printed on the inside of the baseplate, rather precisely. 22nd August 1963.

Simple construction throughout, twin blade, over centre shutter with double exposure prevention. Interesting features are large shutter release button, hinged film pressure plate and removable hatch popped off by rotating lever.
