Beacon art Deco Film Camera. The Beacon Camera was manufactured in circa 1946 by Whitehouse Products Inc., of Brooklyn New York. This snap-shot camera was constructed of plastic with a built-in optical view finder. The Art Deco contours and the use of chrome and shiney black pebble finish plastic make this a very attractive camera. This small camera has an extending body which telescopes out for taking pictures. The winding knob is plastic with fake chrome covering.
