I was given my Coronet Supreme Deluxe box camera from an old photography lecturer from Sussex, Lancing. It is in reasonable condition, with a few bumps and scratches on the corners and a broken leather strap.
The Supreme Deluxe camera was manufactured by the Coronet Camera Co. in circa 1935. Coronet Camera Co. was founded in 1926 in Birmingham, England, and became known as Coronet Ltd. in 1946. However the manufacturing process was discontinued in 1967.
The camera was designed as an inexpensive box camera for taking 6 x 9cm exposures on a number 120 roll film. It featured a meniscus lens, and a simple instantaneous shutter. It is constructed of cardboard and covered in black leatherette with a round metal faceplate.
