Chronology of cameras Sears
Sears is to the United States what Manufrance was to France.
Following the same principle, a significant portion of what Sears sold was manufactured by other brands. The name "Tower" frequently appears in product names. This can be explained by comparing the brand's logo and historical photos of the company. The logo depicts the tower that dominated the Sears buildings in Chicago. In 1969, Sears decided to consolidate all its Chicago employees in a single building and had the tallest skyscraper in the United States (and the world at the time) constructed, known as the Sears Tower, which has since been renamed the Willis Tower.
This camera, sold by Sears is a Herbert George Savoy modified to be part of the catalog of the huge Chicago mail order seller.
The most spectacular change is the sticking of a fake cell window above the lens.
