The Universal Camera Corporation of New York City, New York was a successful low-priced camera manufacturer during the 1930s and 40s. All Model A and AF models required Univex #00 film, shooting six 1 1/8 x 1 1/2 inch (28 x 38mm) exposures per roll. Universal Camera Corporation attempted, with the introduction of a proprietary film size, to emulate the successful marketing strategy of George Eastman. That was, to give away the cameras, and make money on film sales and processing. Various Universal Camera Corporation cameras required Univex #00 film, including the Univex A, a small bakelite camera that sold for 39 cents in 1933! Despite the reduced buying power of a public struggling through the Great Depression, Universal Camera Corporation's aggressive pricing on all its model lines helped it to sell many cameras.
