As the Falcon Press Flash, this camera was the first camera with built-in flash reflector[1]. It used old-style big Edison base flash bulbs and type 120 film rolls. It had two exposure settings, one for "bright" light and one for "cloudy & flash" situations. It was made by the Utility Manufacturing Company, later Spartus. It was marketed from 1939 to 1950 under several names, including Falcon Press Flash, Galter Press Flash[2], and Regal Flash Master.
The body was made of Bakelite mouldings. Images were 6x9cm.
