The No. 2 Ansco box camera was made by Ansco in circa 1906 to 1926. It was the same camera as the No. 1 Ansco except that it took a larger picture. The camera was capable of capturing 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch exposures on Ansco no. 7A and 7B or with Kodak no. 118 roll film. Made of wood and covered in seal grain leather. 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. Originally priced around $7.25.
