While the name Falcon originated with the Utility Manufacturing Company of New York, The Falcon Rocket camera design for 127 film seems to have originated in Chicago as one of the sub-brands of Spartus. The body greatly resembles the one illustrated in a camera patent filed by Jack Galter in 1939[1] (although that model was to include batteries for flash sync).

One version was sold as Carlton. The body is moulded in bakelite.
