Whitehouse Cameras

Here are the Whitehouse cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.

The Categories ⓘ

The Art Deco cameras on this site are divided into 5 Deco categories - Proto Deco, Classic Deco, Streamlined Deco, Deco Influenced and Post Deco.

Star System ⓘ

I use a star system to show Deco strength. Each camera is rated by how strongly it embodies Art Deco style, from iconic five-star classics to those with incidental Deco elements.

Information

Whitehouse Products Inc. was a camera manufacturer based in Brooklyn, New York, USA. It made simple Bakelite (and later other plastic) snapshot models, branded Beacon. Early Beacon models had extendable lens boxes. When the cameras were closed, the shutter was disabled. Early models featured a 'Timed' shutter setting but this was removed on later models. The Beacon II and Two-Twenty Five were fitted for mounting a flashgun.

The later Reflex model was almost identical to the Ansco Cadet Reflex. The WH 127-A model was also sold by Argus as the Argus 127.
