The Chicago Ferrotype Co. was a camera maker which resided in the Ferrotype Building in Chicago, Illinois. It made very particular cameras, an early type of instant camera for the postcard format and a magazine camera for ferrotype film chips. The kind of magazine camera was also made by others, but the ferrotype postcard instant cameras were unique, made for "Mandel's Positive Process-No Negatives".
