The Craftsman is a box camera sold by Ansco for 2¼×3¼ inch exposures on 120 film. It has a single speed shutter and meniscus lens, and viewfinders for portrait and landscape format. It was first introduced in 1950 as a kit for home assembly, as pictured. The following year, Ansco also offered the camera factory-assembled.
McKeown[1] states that Ansco also made an earlier (about 1926), better-quality wooden box camera, also called the Craftsman, but notes that this name was not on the camera, so it is difficult to identify.
