i run into this super cute camera in a etsy shop, love at first sight. So i looked for some history about this baby! here is what i found out in flickr:
Manufactured from 1956 to 1965 by Imperial Camera Corp. of Chicago, Illinois. The Imperial name had been used by Herbert George Camera Co. as a camera model name. In 1961, the company changed it’s name to Imperial Camera Corp. The Savoy was one of the company’s 6x6cm plastic cameras. Other names given to the same model include Adventurer, Mark XII Flash, Reflex, Six-twenty and Six-Twenty Reflex. It is a simple box camera that used 620 film. Some had an equally simple flash attachment. Created at during the early days of the space race, it featured a “futuristic” satalite symbol on the metal face plate.
no matter what...It is just too cute! right?

I have the same little cutie, but mines not working at the moment. I need a 620 spool to respool 120 film on it. But I tested it once with 135 film.
