Ansco Readyset Royal

[Doug T.]

Hi All!
I'm very excited about my latest find ;D
I was at the local thrift store, and a bit disappointed that I hadn't found anything.
On the way out, I glanced over into a case of toys and saw this........




I asked the cashier "How much ?", she said 5 dollars.
Needless to say, it's now in my collection!
It's an Ansco Readyset Royal "Silver Fox" made right here in Binghamton, NY They are almost impossible to find in this condition, and when found, have a hefty price tag on them.
The very best part of the whole thing is that this is a Model No.1, which means that it takes 120 roll film!!

Life is good!

Despite the Agfa connection, these were not officially available in the UK, or Europe, too many rival makes at the time in the market. The bellows may need attention, they are noted as being poor, and deteriorate leaving pinholes.

Yeah, when you have lots of charity shops to make bargains.
