Whitehouse Beacon camera

The Beacon from Whitehouse Products of Brooklyn, NY is a very simple camera made from 1947 until the mid-1950s. 

This camera features a single instantaneous shutter speed plus a bulb mode.

Manual

This is the manual for a slightly different iteration of this camera (which supports the use of flash bulbs, which this version does not): https://www.butkus.org/chinon/beacon_ii/beacon_ii.htm

Condition notes

The camera appears to be in good condition for its age (see photos) and shutter fires. Given its simplicity and the fact 127 film is somewhat hard to find, we envision it being used as a prop or display camera (it's a very nice design). An empty 127 spool is included.
