History

Imperial was a main camera brand of the Herbert George Co. Chicago / Illinois, a company founded by Herbert Weil and George Israel around 1945. Imperial box cameras were marketed under the brand name Herco as Herco Imperial. Imperial lasted as brand name for these cameras. In 1961 company ownership changed and the whole company was renamed to Imperial Camera Corp. . It made solid bakelite and plastic cameras - one of the first very colorful series of cameras.

Another variation on the basic Imperial box camera, giving 4x4 cm images on 127 film. The Satellite 127 has a switch for Color vs. B&W. The latter setting moves a smaller aperture stop into place behind the lens.

It is unclear whether the "improved" Imperial Satellite II, has any functional differences, beyond its cosmetic changes to the front panel, and the addition of a metal trim ring around the lens.
