The Tower Junior camera was manufactured for Sears Roebuck by Bilora of Germany. The Tower name is molded into the bakelite body below the viewfinder. The name is difficult to see in this photograph.
This camera was sold by Sears in the mid-1950s. I like its art deco styling. It is a simple camera for size 127 film. Image size is 1 5/8 x 2 1/4 inches, or 4.5 x 6 cm. The same camera but with the name Boy was sold by Bilora.
