Looking for information on camera I bought

[Ray Downward]

I bought an old camera and can not find any information on it. It uses both 5X7 and 4X5 film. It is a black leather box, red bellows and brass fittings. It has a crown with the word Imperial above the

lens and No. 21 below the lens.

Those seems to be made from a company called Imperial Camera and Mfg. Company, on Lacrosse, Wisconsin, USA, most likely on the ealy 20th century, probably between 1900-1920.

Not much is know about them. They pop seldom on Ebay.

Found this image on the web.

Hope it helps
