What it is
{"overview":"The Coronet Midget is a small Bakelite subminiature camera from the 1930s, made in Birmingham by Coronet and sold as an inexpensive novelty stills camera using a proprietary roll film. Check that the simple shutter still fires and that the tiny meniscus lens is free of fungus and haze; original film spools and the matching presentation box materially raise value.

Questions
Is the red Coronet Midget rarer than the black one?
The coloured Bakelite finishes, including red, were produced in smaller quantities than the standard black Midget, which is generally why collectors pay a premium for them.
