Here are THREE Antique Vintage Cameras from the Early 1900's to 1950's --- All Ansco cameras --- from the Anthony and Scovil Company, but the Speedex was made in Germany by Agfa.I don't know too much about these cameras but I had someone who does take a look at them, and he told me they are all in Good Condition---- with some flaws. All are very solid, seemingly working, with some cosmetic issues and a couple of functional one.
All of them--- the Exterior Condition is Good--- a little wear and tear and some small marks here and there, but very nice for the age.
The Pioneer has the biggest problem--- a part is missing from the back of the flash where batteries go, and there's lots of dust in the lens. But otherwise it's not too bad. The Speedex is in very nice condition---- the shutter works at different speeds, but I don't know how accurate they are. The lens glass is in excellent condition as far as can be seen and the aperture works fine. But the bellows is very much tattered so it probably leaks. The very old one--- the Buster Brown is in Very nice condition for being over 100 years old. It has the number p439 engraved into the wood inside the front and back--- maybe it's the serial number? The chrome metal on the bed has a Mirror-finish, but the chrome on the lens support has some oxidation. Aside from that it looks to be in Excellent shape--- the Bellows looks very good--- no tears and with very little decay considering the age, and the exterior leather is also great! It's the nicest one of the three.
Also includes the leather case which is still pretty good but not perfect.
So it is uncertain how well they may be to actually Use--- they have not been fully tested beyond what I describe and they probably need some internal cleaning for use. And there may be another tiny defect or two that I didn't notice so PLEASE Examine the Photos. They may not be in perfect condition to shoot pictures with, but they are in NICE collectible condition.
What you see is what you'll get--- the actual items for sale are pictured... please examine all the photos.
