Herco Imperial 620 Snap Shot Camera

The Herbert George Company of Chicago sold the Imperial 620 Snap Shot for $3.99 at introduction in 1951. It was not trying to be a fine camera. Injection-molded plastic body, printed metal faceplate, single meniscus lens, no adjustable settings. Twelve exposures per roll of 620 film.

620 roll film is no longer manufactured. Re-spooling 120 film onto 620 spools is possible but niche. Front faceplate graphics crisp and legible. Black body intact, no chips or cracks. Untested.

Condition: Untested, sold as-is. Clean with minor age-appropriate wear. Included: Camera only. Price: $12 CAD. Pickup preferred; shipping available.

$3.99 in 1951. The faceplate is still holding.
