Shur Shot Special was sold from 1932 to 1941 and is a basic box camera with extras. Manufactured in Binghamton, New York by Ansco it went through two minor variations with the face plate. The Early type had a black art-deco faceplate that has 30 vertical bands of narrow stripes and the post c1939 model has a light face with U-shaped band of 6 then black stripes. The Shur Shot series were made in sizes for 120 and 116 film; but because of the Agfa connection these were specified using the German designations B2 and D6 like the special. The Special had two brilliant viewfinders, which allowed either horizontal or vertical composition. The shutter is about 1/50 of a second plus Bulb/Timed exposures by pulling a small tab outwards above the shutter release and filter/aperture pull-out. Spectacular camera to add to anyone's collection and beautiful decor.
