miMade from 1947-1953, the Agfa (and sometimes Ansco) Pioneer was designed by Henry Dreyfuss of Bell Telephone fame. The film plane is curved, and the lens is designed to match the curvature of the film plane. Note the red shutter button. I also have an Ansco Pioneer.

Wow! You can just pull over to the side of the trail in your covered wagon and snap away! :) Seriously, this is a cool piece of photographic history, kk!

hahah thanks, steve! I bet it still works! Have to try it out, but may have to adjust it for more modern film. It takes PB20 film. I have its twin, too, and that is in a bit better shape. And I have a big daddy Eastman Kodak coming up!! Thanks, Steve!! kk
