Irwin

Here are the Irwin cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.

The Categories

The Art Deco cameras on this site are divided into 5 Deco categories - Proto Deco, Classic Deco, Streamlined Deco, Deco Influenced and Post Deco.

Star System

I use a star system to show Deco strength. Each camera is rated by how strongly it embodies Art Deco style, from iconic five-star classics to those with incidental Deco elements.

History

Irwin Corporation was a camera maker based in New York, America. They were famous for making a number of cameras shaped like a sardine can. These included the Kandor, Kandor Jr, Kandor Komet and the Lark. Some of the originals may actually have been made of sardine cans. They made a number of Pseudo TLRs including the Dual Reflex, Irwin Reflex and the Super-Tri-Reflex. They also made 16mm movie cameras branded the "Irwin Imperial.
