Summary

[edit]
Description

The Silver King is a wonderful piece of art-deco styling, from "The Camera Man" of Chicago. It's made of bakelite and has an aluminum back. The faceplate was made in silver with black lettering, and in black with silver lettering. There is no date to be found for this camera in McKeown's Price Guide, but I'm going to guess 1939, based on similar Chicago "minicams" of the era. It's listed as "very rare", so I guess I really lucked out!

I shot this camera from several angles, but chose to upload this one as a dedication to Rick Soloway, who made me aware of this camera. Thank you, Rick!
