Dear 'Retlaw': I see from another forum that you were a pattern maker at Langbridges (was its 'Sunday best' name Lang Bridge & Co Ltd?).

The camera this discussion thread is all about, the 'Walton Commercial Camera' has a cast lens panel. I have been told by a Walton family member who saw the camera in the 1940/50s, that the casting was done at Langbridges around 1935. I now have the wooden patterns, and they are in a sort of wooden tray/crate with "Tom Walton, Accrington" written in pencil along two sides.

Does that ring any bells?
