About

The Ellison Kamra Company was started in about 1926 by Michael Ellison and Edward McAuliffe, both of Los Angeles, to exploit their patent for a camera shutter mechanism.[1] The company made just one camera, for 35mm film in special box-shaped cassettes. The body and cassettes are made from brown bakelite. The lens (an f/5 Wollensak) is mounted behind a folding cover, on which there is a brilliant finder.
