History
History
It is a box camera produced by Herbert George Co. Chicago / Illinois or simply Herco Imperial. Though the company manufactured cameras not of the highest quality, there are some that still work.
Herbert George Company did its best to bring style and elegance to their bakelite and plastic cameras. What makes this camera notable, except of being produced in the middle of the previous century, is that it makes square photos.

Design Icons
The creative reuse of old vintage cameras as Bluetooth speaker, clocks, lamps, or Echo Dot Holder puts these old design icons back in the hands of people, out of dark basements and attics. The beauty of the mid-century design pieces is their versatility – you can treat them as feature piece or liberally use them throughout any contemporary space.
