Agfa Shur-Shot Vintage 1930’s Box Camera, B-2 Film, Black

Description

For sale is a vintage Agfa Ansco Shur Shot box camera (1932-1940). While I have not extensively tested the camera, the shutter appears to be working as expected. The camera is sold as is and would be a great addition to a camera collection.
The Agfa Ansco Shur Shot series began in 1932 and ended in 1940. Shur Shot cameras originally carried the name Agfa-Ansco in use at that time. Post-1941 models were branded as Ansco alone. The cameras were made in sizes for 120 and 116 films; but because of the German Agfa company connection, these were specified using the German designations B2 (120 films) and D6 (116 films) respectively.
The Shur Shot camera is a simple cardboard box covered with leatherette. A structural panel of wood behind the faceplate holds the shutter mechanism (approximately 1/30 of a second), and a fixed aperture of approximately f/13. The image is formed by a single backward-facing meniscus lens behind this. Two brilliant viewfinders were provided to allow framing photos in either horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) orientations.
