“Bravo” model made in Edgerton, Ohio by the “Hobo Manufacturing Company,” a small company once housed in an old canning manufacturing building on the East side of town. We were able to find this out along with other valuable information about the company from a local historian in Edgerton, Ohio who personally knew the owner of the company. Only a few Bravo’s were made (and a few larger models) before the company was sold, moved to Northern Indiana, and then eventually went out of biz.

I recently purchased a bravo hobo. I can’t find the yr.made so far. A friend inspected the lens covers and decided it’s a 66 or 68 model. Anyone have any info on models and yrs made?
