Chronology of cameras Imperial Camera Corporation
In 1961, when George Herbert Co becomes Imperial Camera Corp., what was just a name on some models became the brand and logo of its own. The appearance of the Imperial logo is an element of dating.
The Savoy is a camera that can be called box. It exists with different front faces and in several colours: gray, green, blue and red.
Starting in 1961, the Herbert George company was succeeded by Imperial. The cameras produced by the new brand continued in the same vein as those of Herbert George.
According to the patent application dates, Imperial remained active until the early 1980s but increasingly shifted production to Asia.
The patents filed by Imperial Camera Corp. list George Irwin as the inventor, who had already worked for Herbert George in the latter half of the 1950s. The illustrations accompanying the patent applications correspond to Herbert George or Imperial cameras and accessories.
