I recently purchased this painted grey - greenish Ansco camera (see seller's pics).
I don't have much experience with large format cameras and can't figure out if it is even 5X7, or 8X10 (which is what the seller guessed it is). (This was answered, thanks) It was cheap as it is in rough shape. I plan on fixing if up.
I read old forum posts and assume it is a newer Ansco Universal Deluxe made after 1944 due to the plastic knobs and only the name "Ansco" being on the name plate and under that "Binghamton, NY - Made In USA". The number "115" is engraved on the front standard underneath the bellows.
The measurements are:
-Interior of rear opening is 6 3/4 inches square.
-Exterior frame of rear opening is 8 5/8 square.
-Rear standard frame is 12 inches wide x 9 3/8 inches high
-5.5 inch square lens board.
So... I have three questions.
Does anyone know the model?
Is it 5x7 or 8x10? (Answered- thanks!)
If anyone has a similar camera, please let me know! Your help is greatly appreciated!Thanks!
