Chronology of cameras Sears 

Sears is to the United States what Manufrance was to France.

Following the same principle, a significant portion of what Sears sold was manufactured by other brands. The name "Tower" frequently appears in product names. This can be explained by comparing the brand's logo and historical photos of the company. The logo depicts the tower that dominated the Sears buildings in Chicago. In 1969, Sears decided to consolidate all its Chicago employees in a single building and had the tallest skyscraper in the United States (and the world at the time) constructed, known as the Sears Tower, which has since been renamed the Willis Tower.

Samoca was a small Japanese manufacturer active in the latter half of the 1950s. Their cameras were primarily characterized by their compact size and high-quality craftsmanship.
Many of them featured built-in light meters and/or rangefinders.

Some models were rebranded by Sears in the early 1960s under the name Tower.
