The Falcon Super-Action Candid Camera was made in New York by the Utility Manufacturing Company from c.1938.
The body was made of "Neilite" (similar to Bakelite) - construction and styling follows the lines of the 35mm Argus A and the 127 Detrola Model E and Model H.
The Falcon Super-Action Candid Camera takes sixteen 3x4 images on 127 film.
The Super-Action Candid Camera, Model G, has a fast 2 inch f=3.5 Wollensak Velostigmat lens on a Wollensak Deltax 3-speed plus T & B ever-ready shutter. The Model GE adds an extinction meter.
The Super-Action Candid Camera, Model F, has a slower 2 inch f=4.5 Wollensak Velostigmat lens on a Wollensak Deltax 3-speed plus T & B ever-ready shutter. The Model FE adds an extinction meter.
The FE variant The Falcon Special has the slow 2 inch f=4.5 Wollensak Velostigmat lens, but on a Wollensak Alphax Jr. 4-speed plus T & B ever-ready shutter. It also has an extiction meter.
The cameras had a special focus lock mechanism to avoid loss of distance setting, including a focus release button. Probably the non-special Candid models F/G/FE/GE first were produced with common Deltax shutter with speed upto 1/100 sec., later with a faster Deltax variant that allowed 1/200 sec. That's what the historic ads are proposing. Photos of these non-special fast-shutter-supplied camera type F/G/FE/GE variants show them with Alphax Jr. shutter, alike The Falcon Special!
