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.
