ENSIGN All-Distance Pocket Analogue folding camera

Ensign All-Distance Pocket circa 1930 English bellows camera Brown version Ensign All-Distance Pocket, a classic English bellows camera from around 1930, manufactured by Houghton-Butcher Manufacturing Co. Ltd. in London. This camera is a fine example of British camera construction at the turn of the last century. The brown covering, the matching lens barrel and the black folding bellows give the camera character. The Ensign All-Distance Pocket was introduced in the late 1920s and was designed as a compact, easy-to-use folding film camera. Thanks to the folding mechanism, the camera could be carried and unfolded for use. Details: - Manufacturer: Houghton-Butcher Manufacturing Co.
