Champion
The Champion is one of three cameras offered by "The Camera Man" of Chicago, the other two being the Silver King and The President. While the design of the Silver King was unique, the Champion and President were identical except in name.
This same camera was also sold by the Drexel Camera Company as the Drexel Jr. Miniature, and by Lee Industries as the Leecrest. These facts suggest that the angular design of this camera was much more popular at the time than the curved, streamlined style of the Silver King; reasoning which is supported by the relative rarity of the Silver King.
Go figure.
