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 aluminium-bodied version shown at right, the Minicam Senior name was recycled for a bakelite model sold 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 the new bakelite Minicam Senior.
