Description
The Lark was a 1960s plastic camera from Imperial (formerly Herbert George) of Chicago, Illinois. It appeared to be a revision of the Imperial Mark 27 but with a restyled top housing which included a "bug eye" flash reflector for flashbulbs. It exposed images 4�4 cm square onto 127 film, advanced with a knob on the camera bottom. It was a simple and inexpensive snap shot camera made of plastic that incorporated the view finder and flash unit as part of the camera. It featured a simple fixed focus meniscus lens, and a switch to adjust the aperture for color or black and white film. It sold for around $4.79.
This camera was part of vintage collection that I found on display in a restaurant in Parry Sound, Ontario.
