Ross Ensign Camera

Overview

A black, plastic-coated box with a silver metal edged rectangle on the front. On the front of this rectangle are two round, silver rimmed holes. The bottom hole has protruding lenses with a silver metal ledge. Underneath this lens, printed onto the surface of the rectangle in silver letters is 'FUL-VUE/ SUPER'. In the top left corner on the left side of the box is a large round silver metal protruding circle with 'MADE IN ENGLAND' engraved around the edge. On top of the box is a small, rounded, metal plate with 'ROSS/ENSIGN' written in silver. There is also a brown leather camera case, the top opens from a front flap, and fastens to the base with a small, gold coloured metal clasp. The box is badly damaged, particularly on the lid, where sticky tape is holding it intact.
