It's a 16mm movie camera that was manufactured between about 1930-1946. It takes a magazine type film.
These antique movie cameras are completely manual, with a wind-up clockwork mechanism to run the film spools and shutter. You just wind the key a few times and press the button to start filming.
You can actually still get 8mm and 16mm movie film. You can order it online. Unfortunately, I don't think you can get magazine film anymore though. A magazine type film is film that comes pre-loaded in a magazine (sort of like a cartridge) and you just put it in the camera and start filming. I think there are some companies that will load 16mm film magazines, but it might be expensive and you'll have to find one that will do it.
If you have a collection of old movie cameras, or you want to start collecting them and using them as a hobby, then I suggest you get the cameras that use the spool type film. Like 16mm or "double-run" 8mm spool film. You can easily order spool type film online. But magazine film might be hard to find.
Still, that's a neat camera and you should keep it as an antique.
