This aluminum camera with the horizontal stripes was American-made and marketed out of \u00a0Hollywood, CA by the Craftmen&#8217;s Guild. It was basically a half frame box camera. The lens was f\/4.5 to f\/22 fixed focus with a single shutter speed of 1\/50th second (plus time).<\/p>\n<p>The Guild tried to ride the wave of enthusiasm for 35mm cameras, but never survived the rush of German and later Japanese cameras after the war. American-made cameras? Really? Just read this little ad from Popular Photography&#8217;s November 1948 issue and say thanks to my good friend and fellow PHSC member, George Dunbar for sharing his search results with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto. &#8230; and aluminum, and made in America, and 35mm film.
