As 110 it may well have been a Minolta. Something like this?

Hey , Joe. I was wrong. I was jumping at conclusions based on the photo you showed first and remembering the long narrow case.
110 is a cartridge-based film format used in still photography. It was introduced by Kodak in 1972. 110 is essentially a miniaturised version of Kodak's earlier 126 film format. Each frame is 13 mm × 17 mm (0.51 in × 0.67 in), with one registration hole. There were 24 frames per cartridge that occasionally enabled the user to capture an extra image due to production variations.
