Micro 16 Subminiature Spy Camera
1940's
The MICRO 16 was made by Wm. R. Whittaker Co., Ltd. in Los Angeles, California,
USA. from 1946-1950 and was highly popular. It was about the size of a
package of cigarettes and was often hidden inside a pack when used by
spies and private-eyes. The Micro 16 took 16 mm film. It had a 90 degree
viewfinder. The aperture was controlled through a lever and could be adjusted
to bright, dull and color. The plunger on the top of the camera could
be pressed to advance the film and could be made to stay down flat on
the surface. A film counter was viewable from the back. It was quite a
modern marvel for it's time! The camera sold for about $30.00 in the 1940's.
However, in the 1940's that was just above what the average weekly paycheck
was for an American.
