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.

Le Sears Tower Phantom est un Imperial 127 Reflex Flash,  rebaptisé pour intégrer la gamme des appareils distribués par Sears. Malgré son aspect il ne s'agit pas d'un réel Reflex TLR.

Il était vendu dans un coffret en carton avec le flash, trois ampoules, un film et une mini-visionneuse pour diapositive.
