The Sears Roebuck Tower Pixie II camera was introduced in 1958 and made in the U.S.A... The camera uses 127 film, has an integral flash port that uses two AA batteries, a bulb release lever, a switch for color (aperture f11) or black and white (aperture f22) film, an optical viewfinder, a film advance wheel on the bottom, a red view window in the back cover for frame count, a 1/50 of a second rotary shutter, and produced 4x4cm exposures. The Pixie II was at that time delivered by Sears, the most famous mail-order house in the world. Sears Tower (brand name due to the Chicago corporate building) was the highest tower in the world for a certain period. Tower cameras were made by different renowned camera makers of several countries. Some cameras were sold branded Sears and a few under their original manufacturers. This camera could have been made by Imperial or even Kodak. The box kit came with two AAA (penlight) batteries, a roll of 127 films, some AG1 flashbulbs, and cost less than $6.00. The Tower Pixie II is a fixed focused camera also known as Pixie II 127. The lens is about 28mm and the minimum range is 5 feet.
