This lot features a vintage Tower One-Twenty Flash camera kit, manufactured by Sears, Roebuck and Co., dating from the mid-20th century. The kit includes the box camera, a detachable flash unit with a polished reflector, and a hardshell carrying case. The camera body is crafted from black Bakelite or a similar early plastic, with a metal front plate featuring the "Tower" logo, "Precise" lens, and "One-Twenty Flash Sears, Roebuck and Co. U.S.A." text. The flash unit has a silver-tone metal reflector and a black handle. The accompanying carrying case is made of a wood frame covered in black faux alligator skin, with metal hardware and a deteriorated leather handle. The interior of the case is lined with an orange felt-like material and includes a small instruction manual (possibly for a different camera model, "Rainbow Hawk-Eye No. 2 and 2A Model III" by Eastman Kodak Company). The camera appears to be designed for 120 film and No. 5 flashbulbs, as indicated by a handwritten label on the camera body. This kit represents an interesting piece of photographic history, showcasing early consumer camera and flash technology.
