I have a TOWER REFLEX camera serial # 4261. It was mfg. in Japan. It has a
brown leather case.It is rather heavy. There are two lenses on the front,
and two knobs on the side.The top lens has (View Walzer 1:3.5 f=7.5 cm Walz
Camera Co. The bottom les has the same thing on it with the addition of
(NO.39530) on it. I think it may be a good one but I'm not sure. I don't
know anything about cameras and would be most happy to find out a bit about
it.
thank you in advance.
Bob

Try a non-digital camera group. You may have better luck in them.

Tower, IIRC, was a Sears Roebuck brand name. From your description this
sounds like a twin-lens reflex camera--rectangular box shape and a
ground glass imager on the top? Probably will take very good pictures,
if you still want to foo around with film. Not likely to be very
valuable, though.

If you are into this sort of thing, I've got a couple of really old Rollis,
(a 'cord and a "flex) in the same twin lens format.
