Description

The Tower Hide-A-Way was a consumer-grade camera marketed by Sears, Roebuck and Co., likely manufactured by a company like Herbert George Co. or Imperial. Its primary design feature is the "Hide-A-Way" flash unit, which is built into the top of the body and protected by a hinged lid. It was marketed as a "3-way" camera, meaning it could take black and white prints, color prints, or color slides. The front plate features a simple switch to adjust exposure for "Color" or "B&W" film, and it uses M-2 flash bulbs as indicated by the exposure table on the rear.
