I remember the grip brought out by an American company for the Leica M6- I bought one of the first, Which I ordered from a dealer in the US. I still have it, and I still feel what a beautiful bit of gear it was, and still is !

I don't know if it was the first, but the first camera I had with a grip was a Canon T90.

It was designed by Luigi Colani and the lowly Nikon EM (Nikon first plastic body) was designed by Giorgetto Giugiano.
Giugiaro, not Giugiano. My favorite auto stylist and contributor to many Nikon designs from the lowly L35AF on up. My favorite of his designs was the late-60s DeTomaso Mangusta (Mongoose).

Absolutely a beautiful machine. Drive it for a long time.
Back to Camera Grips. I was recovering from open heart surgery. While I was in recovery, my wife asked if I wanted or needed anything. I muttered a Canon 1v. Shortly afterwards I received this gem of a film camera. This was added to my collection which includes a Canon EOS Rebel 2000

Ricoh XRP was a camera ahead of it's time, standard was a slightly raised right hand grip with a set screw, it could be taken off and a larger grip or a power grip installed. The power grip was like a mini winder using the camera's batteries to advance the film

I’m not sure if this qualifies. On my Canon AE-1 the right hand had a battery cover on the right.

No! You see the A-1 has a grip and the AE-1 doesn't. I think the AE-1P has the grip too.

Oh Well, I guess I’m out of the competition. It was fun playing!
