AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Up for auction: a charming and sturdy vintage folding bellows pocket camera: the Agfa Ansco Readyset Special, produced in the United States by Agfa Ansco Corp. in Binghamton, New York, in the early 1930s.
The lot presents in good overall condition, with normal signs of use and preservation consistent with the object's age.
Optics: The camera mounts the original fixed lens. The lenses show no surface scratches or traces of internal mold or fungus; only a normal, widespread and light vintage patina due to the decades that have passed, entirely typical for a piece of this age, which does not undermine its historical heft and collecting charm.
Mechanical: The lot has been tested and appears mechanically functional. The mechanical focal shutter responds to manual controls, firing regularly at the exposure settings selectable via the top lever.
Aesthetic: Good overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The sturdy rectangular metal body retains its original black textured finish and displays on top the distinctive embossed Agfa diamond logo. It shows the classic normal signs of time and superficial handling along the outer metal profiles.
Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to guarantee maximum safety during transport.
