Chronology of cameras Ansco
The Buster Brown series takes its name from a small character, the hero of a comic strip that appeared in the Sunday edition of the American newspaper New York Herald starting in 1902. The author was Richard Felton Outcault. The character was extensively used in commercial franchising.
The choice of a name so similar to "Brownie," used by Kodak, was likely not a random decision.
Ansco used the name for both box and folding cameras.
During the second decade of the 20th century, the Buster Brown Folding series, in a horizontal format, clearly aimed for wider dissemination rather than a high-end market. The No. 3, designed for 118 film, produces photos of 8 x 10.5 cm.
The body is made of wood covered with coated canvas, while the front flap is made of metal. The construction quality is satisfactory, particularly the nickel plating on the plate and other metallic parts, which adds some brightness to this otherwise very dark assembly.
The camera offers a relative ease of use with settings for shutter speed and aperture, while the focus adjustment is done via a radial lever.
