Bosley B1 35mm Rangefinder Camera - For Display/Repair

The Bosley B1 is a rarely seen 35mm rangefinder camera that oozes vintage appeal. Manufactured in Japan and often rebadged under various house brands, the B1 features a fixed 45mm f/2.8 lens, a leaf shutter, and a compact, streamlined metal body. It’s a mid-century sleeper with great shelf presence—perfect for collectors of obscure Japanese rangefinders or design-forward decor.

Its clean lines, bright lens coating, and mechanical feel make it a compelling display piece even if it’s not fully functional. If you're a tinkerer or collector looking for a restoration project, the B1 also offers some fun potential with accessible mechanical internals.

Condition: AS-IS

This Bosley B1 is not currently firing correctly and will need service to be fully operational. The shutter is inconsistent and does not fire reliably. That said, the lens is clean, with no haze or fungus, and cosmetically the body is in good shape, showing only light wear consistent with age. It's being sold strictly as-is for display or repair purposes.
