The Ansco Anscoflex is an unusual enamelled-metal pseudo TLR with a large lens cover which slides up to form the viewfinder hood. The viewfinder is almost 1:1 for the 2,1/14x2,1/4" (6x6cm) photos. It was built in the USA by Ansco from around 1954 to a design by Raymond Loewy. The aperture (f/11) and shutter speed are fixed. It takes 6x6cm images on 620 film, wound by a large, ratcheted knob in the side. It retailed for approximately $27.95 (1956 Sears catalog)
The Anscoflex II added two controls on the lower front panel: one is for close-focus and the other is a yellow filter.
