The diminutive Ansco Dollar Camera was introduced by Ansco of Binghamton, New York in about 1910[1]. This was a simple box camera designed for 4×6.5 cm images on 127 film (which Ansco designated 2C).
Many examples are embossed with the full name ANSCO DOLLAR CAMERA below the lens. McKeown's notes this camera was also available in burgundy and green leather; or in a red "Kiddie Camera" version[2].
