Hello...
I have an old Agfa Ansco folding camera and was going to eBay it, because I'm not sure where else to sell it... I'm not interested in keeping it because I don't know how it works. :er:
So here's all the info on the camera: The lens reads, on the outside ring:T 8 100 50 25 10. And on the bottom (outside still): 32 22 16 11 8 f6.3
Then on the middle ring: 1A ANSCO ROYAL f 6. 3 MADE BY AGFA ANSCO CORP'N. BINGHAMPTON U.S.
Then on the innermost ring:f 6 3 WOLLENSAK VELOSTIGMAT.
I researched high and low on the internet, but mostly all I could find was the "Ansco Royal Readyset". This is NOT the Readyset. The only site I found was Ansco 1a Royal which simply told me it was made 1925-30. If anyone has any more information about this camera, please let me know!
The outside color is a copperish-brown, but it's peeling off, revealing a bronze color underneath. I definitely wouldn't call it "mint" condition, it has seen better days I think... The only "broken" part is the back (the opposite side the lens folds out on). The latch to hold it shut is slightly bent, so it doesn't stay shut. I'm sure this could be easily fixed, but I don't want to try bending for fear of breaking it! I have no idea if it's working, I don't know how to work it anyways. It's pretty awesome though, as a display, or for a collector...
So. I'd love to know about how much money it is worth (if any). And also, where should I try selling it? I'm not so sure about eBaying it...
Many, many thanks!!
