Antique Coronet "Midget" Bakelite Camera

Description

Antique Coronet "Midget" Bakelite Camera
circa 1930s-1940s, English
The Coronet Midget is a small British camera produced by Coronet Camera Co. beginning around 1935, designed as an affordable pocket-sized snapshot camera. Marked on camera face "Coronet Midget 16 mm film". It uses 127 roll film to produce images measuring approximately 3 × 4 cm and features a simple fixed-focus meniscus lens paired with a single-speed shutter of roughly 1/25–1/30 second. The compact metal body is finished in marbelled bakelite. Marketed toward casual users and beginners, the Midget prioritized portability and simplicity over technical sophistication, making it a charming rather than high-performance camera. Today it remains a popular collectible, valued for its diminutive size and design appeal, with examples in unusual finishes or with original packaging drawing the most interest. Original box.
