The Falcon Minicam Senior 127 film camera was made in New York by the Utility Manufacturing Company. The 50mm Minivar lens and Instant/Time shutter were common features of many Falcon-branded cameras from the company.
In addition to the making of a modified version of Utility's aluminium-bodied camera, Spartus recycled the name "Minicam Senior" for a bakelite model, badged as made by Falcon Camera Co. of Chicago, a brand used by Spartus after its purchase of Utility Mfg.
Utility's original design was also continued, but with the lens barrel and lens of Spartus' bakelite Minicam Senior.
