CAM-O School Photos Camera
This is a CAM-O Camera made by the United States CAM-O
Corporation in Kansas City . It is a twin lens reflex 'school camera' that
shoots 250 exposures on 70mm film.
Dating has always been difficult but I suspect it was made anywhere from
the late 1940s to 1960s; but I've never seen any advertisements to pin down a
date.
The camera has a wooden body its a Threw the lens
reflex (TLR) for long 46mm (1.75 inch)
rolled strip film used mostly for school class shots!
The camera was usually sold as a kit that
contained also a tripods, light stands, lights & a painted back drop. Was
all contained in a large suitcase
Camera Serial No 1140
