Metropolitan
Here are the Metropolitan Industries 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.

History
Metropolitan Industries should be viewed as a brand name rather than a manufacturer. The actual company that manufactured this camera is difficult to find. Research shows that a host of companies that sold many different cameras emanating from Chicago have a common address listed in the owners manuals or on the advertising. This is usually 711 - 715 W. Lake St. Chicago. It looks like one parent company was responsible for the manufacturing of most of the Chicago Cameras.
