Details

The name "Brumberger" on the front of this rangefinder camera is not the factory name where it was built, but the name of the "Brumberger Camera Store" in New York's Brooklyn borough. In the 1950s and 1960s, this American department store and mail order company had photographic equipment made by various Japanese camera manufacturers and sold it under its own brand name "Brumberger". It is often unclear which Japanese camera manufacturer is hiding behind a 'Brumberger' camera, but this 'Brumberger' was made by the Royal Camera Co. who also built the completely identical Hanimex Holiday II. There is also a known "Brumberger" camera that appears to have been produced by "Neoca Camera Co., but is clearly a different camera than this one.
