*HTF* ANSCO No. 2A Craftsman

Manufactured by Ansco in circa 1926. Described as the high-grade quality camera matching the quality of a folding type machine. Made of well seasoned wood throughout with heavily nickel plated metal trimmings and covered in leather. It was fitted with a fixed focus lens with an instantaneous shutter. The camera was capable of capturing six 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 inch exposures on Ansco no.s 6A and 6B film or equivalent Kodak no. 116 roll film. This camera is in very good condition for being almost 100 years old. This will be considered for decoration as the shutter works but seems a little slow. Both bulb and F stop slides seem to be working. Size 6 1/4” x 5 1/4” x 3 3/4”.
