The VP Twin was made for Woolworths stores, England. It was sold by them from 1935 until the outbreak of the 2nd world war. Post war austerity measures meant that the camera did not appear again on Woolworth's shelves until Christmas 1950. In Woolworths they were 1s 6d (7.5p) before the war, 3s (15p) at the start of the 1950s and 7s 6d (37.5p) at the end of their run in the late 1950s. Elliot bought-in the shutters from Coronet and assembled the cameras. In the early days the camera was sold in three parts by Woolworths to meet their promise that nothing in the shop cost more than 6d; of course an investment of 1s 6d had to be made to have a working camera! One camera in each case supplied by Elliott's was sent in 3 pieces.
