I just bought one almost the same as yours, 'cept the markings
say "STD-WIDE FINDER" and JAPAN.  I suspect that it is
from a movie camera. Since it is a real Albada type finder, I
intend to cut off the base and mount it on a shoe to fit the top
of my M3 for use with a 35mm Summicron.

May I be so rude as to ask what you paid?  I paid $2 at the
Grossmont College Camera Show on May 3.
