Hello, I have a couple of shiny polished aluminium Rilex press cameras from the 1940's - beautiful little cut 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" film delights that take a good picture too - I am very curious about them and the company that made them, and to that end have put up a webpage to collate information.
So far I only know of three and a half in existence, and I know the Riley Research Company was based in Santa Monica, CA - and that's about it! Unlike the world of Graflex, there is precious little info around about these great cameras.
If you anyone knows anything more about these, can you please post that, or have a look at my page:

Much appreciated!
