Univex Model A

The Univex Model A was a small plastic camera made in New York by Universal, introduced in 1933. It has a wire-frame finder with the rear sight moulded onto the body.
Original cost was only $0.39, and it used Universal's no.00 roll film at $0.10 per roll - leading it to sell over three million in three years[1].
A similar camera, but with a folding rear sight, is the Norton - introduced in 1934 by Norton Labs, who were later taken over by Universal, and the Norton sold as the Norton-Univex.
Universal produced a simple stereo camera by mounting two Model A's together, called the Duovex
