The Argus A camera is the first 35mm camera made in the USA, by Argus, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Mine looks like the A2B model manufactured between 1945 and 1950. I cannot locate the serial number to be sure. I bought it from an antique shop for 15 euros.
It is a manual exposure camera with a built in extinction meter which I couldn't figure out how it works. It has a fixed 50mm collapsible lens. After extending the lens, focusing is done by turning the lens barrel until a click is heard.
If I come to understand how the film advances I will give the camera a try.
