Spartus Camera Corp. of Chicago, USA, offered a series of simple box cameras for a variety of film sizes: 120 and 116 film models are definitely known. These share a ribbed bakelite body with a removable back plate; dual right-angle brilliant finders; and typically, an attractively-finished metal front nameplate. The lenses are fixed focus and the only exposure adjustment possible is the Time-Instant shutter lever.
