Herbert George/Herco/Imperial Cameras

Herbert George Co. was a Chicago, Illinois based company founded by Herbert Weil and George Israel around 1945. The name 'Herco' or 'Herbert George' appeared on early models, such as the Herco Imperial but then in 1961 the company ownership changed and the whole company was renamed to Imperial Camera Corp. Herco was dropped and Imperial was used as the preferred name.

Here are the Art Deco Herbert George/Herco/Imperial cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.
