This camera is over 100 years old and is in excellent condition for age. See images.The Ensign E20 Box camera uses rollfilm No.120. The maker’s name and model on face of camera: ‘Ensign E20’. It can produce two different sizes of exposures – either 8 (2 x 3 in) exposures or 16 (2 x 1 in) by using a mask. The mask is cleverly stored by sliding it into the film carrier, close to the lens, so as not to lose it.It has two red windows which are used to get 16 exposures from 120 film. Once the mask is fitted, the film is advanced until a number appears in the first window and an image is taken. Then the film is advanced until the same number appears in the second window. Then it’s back to the first window for the next number. It is fitted with two waist level viewfinders. The viewfinders have red guides on them so that the area covered by the smaller frame can be estimated. When the smaller 16 frame mode is used, the portrait viewfinder becomes the landscape viewfinder and vice versa.It has a fixed focus meniscus lens. Shutter has two settings: inst. or time, although the time setting is more like ‘bulb’. ConditionVery clean viewfinders and lens. Shutter fires on ‘T’ and ‘I’. Mask present. NOT tested with film.Please see pictures as they form part of the description of the camera.
