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.

This camera have the mark Happi Time. It is indicated that it is about “Our own Trademark” of the distributer “Sears”. Under this mark, one can also find radios, toys, etc.Obviously, it is not Sears which manufactured these objects.
This camera seems to be the same one as the Donald Duck, also manufactured by Herbert George.
The Sears Distributer exists since 1886 in Chicago. Since all this time (until 1993), the Sears catalog punctuated the American rural life, as in its time, did it on our premises Manufrance.
