Add a touch of pre-war industrial charm to your collection with this Agfa Shur-Shot box camera. Manufactured in Binghamton, New York, by the Agfa-Ansco Corporation between 1932 and 1941, this camera is a quintessential example of Art Deco design. It features a striking geometric faceplate and a simplified, "point-and-shoot" box construction that was revolutionary for its time, allowing everyday people to capture memories without needing technical expertise.
What makes the Shur-Shot particularly special is its "dual-format" capability; inside, it features clever hinged metal "wings" that allow the user to switch between full-size and half-size exposures on 120 roll film. With its elegant black leatherette finish and chrome-accented viewfinders, this camera is as much a piece of sculpture as it is a photographic tool. It is an ideal find for collectors of vintage technology or designers looking for an authentic mid-century shelf accent.
It is in great vintage condition. (marks, wear and patina consistent with its age and history, Please check all pictures for more details).
