Chronology of cameras Bilora
The Bilora Boy is a molded box camera. It uses 127 film and produces 8 exposures of 4 x 6.5 cm.
The molding allows for a shape with elegant curves, quite inspired by streamline design. The eye-level viewfinder is well integrated.
The material allows for some color variations. The buttons can be gold-plated.
Towards the middle of the production period, a second model is introduced. It is a 6 x 6 format on 120 film, with a larger viewfinder, above which is added an accessory shoe.

The Gevaert Gevabox, although made of metal, is in the same spirit.
The patent ES63823 from 1958 (Spain) protects the film holder of the Boy 120. Not found in other countries, could this be related to Chilean manufacturing?
This rare version of the Boy was manufactured under license in Chile in the early 1950s. The indication of licensed production is mentioned in the bakelite on the back of the camera.
It features a distance adjustment by rotating the front lens, which brings this version closer to the Luxus model.
