E & T Underwood manufactured cameras at their Brunswick Works, 130-2 Granville Street, Birmingham from the early 1890s.
In an 1896 advertisement they listed field cameras for ¼-plate, ½-plate and 1/1-plate with many names including:

  • Albion
  • Club[1]
  • Field (“Best value in the world”)
  • Instanto[2]
  • President
  • Stereograph

There were also magazine cameras with the names:

  • Argosy
  • Automat
  • City
  • Idler
  • Sphynx

In 1905 they advertised a leather-covered ¼-plate folding camera named the “Foldette” which was also available as a Triple Extension Foldette.
