Catalog of Cameras, Photographic Apparatus
and Supplies, Catalog No. 121,
Chicago Photo Supply House (Chicago, IL), undated c. 1926, ~10"x8¼",
72pp
This
newspaper-like catalog is undated. It contains many engravings that appear
to date from the early 1900's, but these must merely represent products that
have not changed, since a testimonial letter on page 3 is dated January 16,
1925. Page 2 refers to another catalog, K-1, that contains the full
line of Korona view cameras. Page 5 contains what appears to be
common practice in the Chicago area: Seneca view cameras marketed as Ingento
or Rexo. Since Burke & James was the largest supply house in
Chicago and appears to have coined those brands, it is possible that the small
supply houses, as this one, would purchase from Burke & James, who, in turn,
would purchase from Seneca. The catalog has a smattering of amateur
cameras on pages 60-61, and the only lenses are the supplemental ones on pages
66-67; a few shutters appear on pages 6-7. This house is oddly much richer
in references for view cameras than ones for lenses or shutters.
