The No. 2 Buster Brown Special box camera was made by Ansco in circa 1906. It was the same camera as the No. 2 Buster Brown except that it was covered in Red leather and the metal parts were made of brass and highly polished. The camera was capable of capturing 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 inch exposures on Ansco no. 4A or with Kodak no. 120 roll film. It was fitted with a fixed focus meniscus achromatic lens and a simple time and instantaneous shutter. Three different sized diaphragm opens were also provided. Both horizontal and vertical photos can be taken with the addition of two ground glass finders.
