Falcon Miniature 127
This beauty is a Falcon Miniature camera originally made by the Utility Manufacturing Company beginning around 1939...they are simple cameras made of Bakelite and where badged under several different names during their run. I have several of these in my collection, two Falcon's, a Miniature Remington camera, and a Photo Master.
The Utility Manufacturing Company was eventually taken over by the Spartus Company and these simple 127 cameras continued to be produced for many years. These cameras appear to be modeled after the Argus A 35mm cameras but the Argus A's were much better cameras...I have several of these in my collection too.
The Falcon Miniature is a fun camera to shoot and if you like the Lomography style of photography these will definitely appeal to you. They shoot 127 film, which is still available online from several film retailers. I find these at Estates sales from time to time and I always pick them up if they are in decent condition. This one, as you can see came with the original box and the original instruction manual.
