Vintage from the 1950s.

Considering that the Bell & Howell name lives on today as little more than a zombified trademark slapped onto various infomercial gadgets, it’s easy to forget just how significant the original Chicago-based company was not only in the development of quality home movie equipment (like the handheld cameras and Filmosound projector in our collection), but in the foundation of the motion picture industry itself.

Yup, it’s probably worth establishing right out of the gate that—despite the order of their names on the company banner—the wunderkind Albert Summers “Bert” Howell plays a much larger role in this story than Donald J. Bell, who left the firm under somewhat acrimonious circumstances just 10 years into its existence. It is no exaggeration, however, to say that there’d have been no Howell without Bell. It was the latter who directed the former on his proverbial path to glory.
