Hello,
This may be along shot but I wonder if you and anyone interested in Lucas, would also remember the *CORONET CAMERA COMPANY: they were based at **
48 Great Hampton Street and then at 308-310 Summer Lane, Aston, Birmingham. *
As Brummy, I have been fascinated in the above Co., for years and have collected *Coronet* cameras for over a quarter of century.
Presently, I am preparing an article on the Co.s formation and development from 1926 to its demise in 1966.
I would be pleased to hear from former factory workers, but also office staff and or those with any *coronet* cameras, e.g., with anecdotes of when and why they bought them, etc.
I am also keen to buy or view photographic company trade catalogues relating to any of the *Coronet* companies, which also included *Standard Camera Works, Conway and Rex*.
Perhaps some archives of these Companies may still exist, so if anyone can help to discover more about the above interesting and largely forgotten company, please contact me via message system
Thanks
Gerry
