Notes: The Eton
is an English compact style of camera.
This camera is identical to the E. H.T. Anthony
Compact
(Late Style). In fact, the engravings
in Gennert catalogs and Anthony catalogs are also identical,
except that the Anthony name has been replaced by Gennert.
In this time period, Gennert
had given up manufacturing their own cameras, instead
buying them from another manufacturer (in this
case, Anthony) to be re-sold
under their name.
