Imperial Mark XII with flash by Herbert George

Imperial Mark XII with flash by Herbert George
Medium format camera.

Imperial was a main camera brand of the Herbert George Co. Chicago / Illinois, a company founded by Herbert Weil and George Israel around 1945. Imperial box cameras were marketed under the brand name Herco as Herco Imperial. Imperial lasted as brand name for these cameras. In 1961 company ownership changed and the whole company was renamed to Imperial Camera Corp. . It made solid bakelite and plastic cameras - one of the first very colorful series of cameras.

Untested but appears to function properly.
This is a cool little medium format rangefinder. It does not have an aperture ring or any shutter settings. It has a flash that takes M3 flash bulbs. I will try to use this soon and post some pictures.
$39.99
