I have a TOWER REFLEX camera serial # 4261. It was mfg. in Japan. It has a
brown leather case.It is rather heavy. There are two lenses on the front,
and two knobs on the side.The top lens has (View Walzer 1:3.5 f=7.5 cm Walz
Camera Co. The bottom les has the same thing on it with the addition of
(NO.39530) on it. I think it may be a good one but I'm not sure. I don't
know anything about cameras and would be most happy to find out a bit about
it.
thank you in advance.

Try a non-digital camera group. You may have better luck in them.

Tower, IIRC, was a Sears Roebuck brand name. From your description this
sounds like a twin-lens reflex camera--rectangular box shape and a
ground glass imager on the top? Probably will take very good pictures,
if you still want to foo around with film. Not likely to be very
valuable, though. |

If you are into this sort of thing, I've got a couple of really old Rollis,
(a 'cord and a "flex) in the same twin lens format.
