Coronet Midget ARTIC

The Midget ARTIC was a basic 35mm camera produced by Coronet from 1935 to 1936, representing the company's entry into the emerging 35mm market. Intended for the amateur photographer, it was a simple, utilitarian camera likely featuring fixed-focus or rudimentary focusing, a basic shutter speed selector, and minimal controls. As a "midget" model, it was compact and affordable, designed for everyday snapshot photography without pretensions to sophistication or advanced features. Its construction probably utilized bakelite or similar molded plastics and pressed metal, typical of budget cameras of its era, prioritizing low cost over high durability or precision engineering.
