Originally introduced in the mid-to-late 1930s, the Keystone is a sturdy, spring-motor-driven camera that takes double-perforated 16mm film. The Keystone Manufacturing Company was founded in 1919 in Boston, Massachusetts, by Edward M Swartz, Isidore Marks, Benjamin Marks and JM Weisman. The company produced a range of products, including 16mm and 8mm film cameras and projectors, and metal and wooden toys.
In 1936, Keystone introduced the Model A-7, a 16mm camera powered by a spring motor. It was capable of operating at seven different speeds – including 8 fps (frames per second), 16 fps and at slow motion. It was designed for both versatility and ease of use.
