Talking Silly challenge to fellow group members

I have a film camera which, loaded with film, fits inside the standard film box, who can identify it first?

The box is the standard cardboard box for one film, not a multibox.
The film canister fits all inside the camera. (not like some toy 110 cameras)

A Hit camera from the 50s?

It's got a proper lens, one shutter speed but 3 aperture settings

The extreme folding camera. Or do you have an inflatable camera perhaps?

It fits in the cardboard box for the film it uses, and it is a very small box.

Anyone else wants to have a go?

I'll post the answer tomorrow.

Well looks like that my silly challenge has attracted an incredible amout of interest
So to stop you guys from struggling to contain your indifference here is the answer.

Its a Revue cam-watch that takes minox 8x11 film. And loaded with film it fits (without the wrist strap) in a Minox film cardboard box.

here is a link that explains its wonderful technical capabilities

I was thinking maybe the Tessina sub mini, but it was not quite small enough to fit in a 35mm film box.
