The DeJUR Amsco Corporation of Shelton, Connecticut, and later New York, was founded in the 1920s by Ralph and Harry DeJur.[1][2] The company traded in photographic goods, and may have made some of their own, or had products made exclusively for them. Later, DeJur also sold office equipment including copiers and dictation recorders. The company was eventually sold in 1974, when Ralph DeJur retired.
The company was well-known for cine equipment, and also sold enlargers and exposure meters. These were made in the USA, perhaps by Hickok.[3] DeJur-Amsco also imported cameras for sale under its own brand, from companies including Neidig and Tokyo Kogaku. The Petri camera shown below still bears the Petri name prominently, however (it may be that Petri themselves refused to have the camera completely rebranded; Petri had a US distributing company of their own at this time, so DeJur would not have had exclusive access to the product).
