The Box Ensign 2¼B was made for 120 film (Ensign 2¼B film) by Houghton-Butcher in the UK around 1930. It has a simple rotary I/T shutter. There seem to have been at least two models, one with a meniscus lens, another with a Rapid Rectilinear lens, with a choice of three (unlabelled) apertures selected by a slider above the shutter release.

There are two Watson-type finders and a wire frame finder which folds down over the front.

It was available in black, or a leather-grain effect brown.
