	"Herco" Imperial & Girl Scout Camera Made by the Herbert George Co. (Herbert Weil and George Israel) a prolific company that produced an abundance of kitchy box cameras. This particular camera had alternate faceplates with Roy Rogers; Davy Crocket; Royal; Imperial;  the Brownies; the Cub Scouts; and the Girl Scouts.
	Holga (aka Diana etc.) A cheap and poorly made 120 camera that makes 4x4cm exposures. A camera with a zillion different names like: Delta; Holga; Hi-Flash; Lina; Samtoy; etc. etc.. Currently (and inexplicably) the darling of 'art photographers" who incorporate the crude image quality as a 'technique'. Prices can vary wildly, depending on the enthusiasm of the buyer.
	Houghton  Ensign Special 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 c1930, leather bellows & hood, brass bindings FP shutter 1/15 - 1/1000. Tropical model in teak body
