This is a Japanese-made aluminum tripod. I received it from someone, and the manufacturer is unknown. There is no manufacturer's name, but it is marked "MADE IN JAPAN." There are small spots of rust on the chrome-plated handle of the head. This does not affect its use. Please understand that this is an old item before purchasing. - Type: Tripod - Country of Manufacture: Japan - Material: Aluminum - Color: Silver Thank you for looking.
