Newsreel 16mm Sound-On-Film Camera Circa Mid Century As Historical Display

Submitted for your consideration is this circa mid century Auricon conversion done by the Birns and Sawyer Company of Hollywood. The original B&S metal production label is still affixed.

This converted design of an Auricon camera employs some drastic original B&S modifications such as a complicated top carry handle and a large custom power side anatomical hand grip.

It has a highly patinated finish showing the scars of demanding newsreel cinematography throughout its rough life.

The camera is not running and is presented with a basic chrome barrel lens, a 400′ film magazine with drive belt and an adjustable vintage wood tripod with basic vintage display tripod head and handle.

Offered as an iconic display piece suitable for home, collection or commercial display.

For the budget minded collector, this camera on tripod looks wonderful and is priced right.
