Found all three of these folders at the same estate sale as rangefinders (already sold) but again, no use to me but someone might want them here at Potrio. Please see images for shutter information. All seem to work. Shutters on each seem good at faster speeds, but I think the special 45 is lagging a bit at 1 second. Bellows on each of the cameras seem to be in decent shape but can send additional pictures or respond to any questions as needed. Cosmetically, metal in very nice shape with some bronzing on dials as seen on pictures. Obviously have not used them so cannot vouch for accuracy. Please send any questions you might have about them, happy to respond.

PayPal only. I will pay standard shipping via USPS. Sorry, US sale only - no international sales.
Selling as lot - asking: $75.00
 
🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.
The big question in my mind is, do their focus helixes turn the full scale smoothly without binding? I have bought several of these folders with working shutters but the focus was frozen solid.

HI Stan - Thanks for the note. Just sold the lot. I know what you mean and usually stay away from them when I see them But these were actually in good shape. Focus on one of the Anscos was a bit stiff but moving. Focus lens were moving nicely on all three. Cheers.
 
Dang! Looks like you sold them while I was composing my first post. Wish I’d seen your FS post earlier ~ I would have sprung for the cameras.
