The firm of R.T Adams and Company was originally a wholesale manufacture of camera cases. The company was listed as early 1892, located at 90 Hattan garden. In the following year the company moved to St. Ann's road Stamford Hill, N. Then in 1898 the firm announced that all future business communicated be directed to the works at 573, 575, 577 Seven Sisters Rd., London. However that the companies telephone address "Byview", London would remain the same.

In 1898 R.T Adams and Co. began advertising cameras for sale to the trade only. They continued with the business of manufacturing camera boxes and bags and describing themselves as the "largest makers of camera cases". Not many cameras have been documented with the R.T. Adams & Co. maker label on it and so a complete camera listing is in question.
