Ueda

Star Camera Works was a prewar Japanese company, who made the Vero Four 4x4cm camera. The name Star Camera Works (written スターカメラウワークス) appeared in advertisements from 1937 and 1938 for the Vero Four. It is completely unknown otherwise.

McKeown lists the Vero Four under Uyeda Camera. Indeed a camera shop called Ueda Shashinki-ten (上田写真機店, old transcription Uyeda) existed since 1901, and made a pocket watch camera shown here at the Center of the History of Japanese Industrial Technology. There might be a relation between the two, for example the shop maybe distributed the products of the Star Camera Works. Indeed the only other model listed by McKeown for Uyeda is a "Star Camera" (1911).
