Chronology of cameras Fabricant inconnu 2 

This Nanar (official denomination given by www.collection-appareils.fr for any camera more likely to end up in the garbage than in a collector's showcase) is well-known in France, especially for its McDonald's version.
Of course, the Chinese manufacturer is unknown, and it's likely to remain so. Molded in plastic, any plastic manufacturer could have made it.

Several characteristics allow distinguishing between the advertising versions of this model.
The overall shape resembles a pebble, and one can't help but think of the early Olympus Mju. . The camera consists of two parts that interlock with each other. The front is a different color from the black rear. They fit together forming a very pronounced curve above the camera. The rewind crank is located on the rear part. It is black and, not being foldable, protrudes from the surface of the camera. Fragile, it is often broken.
The shutter release button, also black, is located on the front part. On the front face, directly above the crank, there is a small peg whose only possible use is to facilitate the positioning of the left hand. The strap is not detachable.
The molding on the back features unnecessary shapes but imitates the placement of a small LCD screen, small buttons, and an adjustment dial.

It is a camera using 135 film. The lens is fixed focus.

A close examination reveals that there are two very similar but different models. In the absence of official references, we call them Model 1 and Model 2, without prejudging their chronology.

Model 1 (on the left)
Oval front window of the viewfinder. Round lens opening. Thickness encompassing the viewfinder and lens.
Model 2 (on the right)
Front viewfinder window almost rectangular. More rectangular lens opening. Ring around the shutter release button. Thickness around the lens only.
