The Imperial Savoy was one of the most widely-sold models from Imperial of Chicago, Illinois between 1956 and 1965. This simple box camera uses 620 films, giving twelve images 2½" square per roll. The lens is a fixed focus and there are no exposure adjustments. Numerous color variants are known, including black, beige, mint green, gray, and light blue.
The Imperial Camera Corp was previously called the Herbert George Camera Co, founded by Herbert Well and George Israel in 1945, they changed their name to Imperial Camera Corp in 1961, and the Imperial Savoy was one of the first 6×6 cameras they produced under the new name.
620 film is pretty much identical to 120 films with the exception that the spool it’s wound around has thinner ends, making the roll of film shorter. It’s possible to re-spool 120 films onto a 620 spool and it’ll fit the camera.
