> Don't know about the Tower.  Is it really a Sears camera?

Yes, it was.  Sears imported them from Japan, already engraved with the
Tower brandname.

The Leica-copy Towers were made by Nicca, and was probably the finest
Leica-copy manufacturer, and despite what Marc James Small may say, some
argue that Nicca may have been just as fine as IIIc.
