The Tom Thumb Camera Radio is a pseudo-TLR camera for 828 film, combined with a valve radio. It was made in about 1948 by the Automatic Radio Manufacturing Company of Boston, MA.[1] It has a 7.5 cm f/5 Maestar lens,[2] and a simple 'I' and 'B' shutter. It has a small folding aluminium hood over the viewfinder. The front and rear of the camera are covered with dark red leatherette; the rest of the body is tan coloured.
