“F.B.W.” Camera

This No. 3A Folding Pocket Ansco camera was purchased in Dallas and given as a gift to Frances Wolfe Garber  “F.B.W”, as a Forest Avenue High graduation present in 1923.

Originally priced at $25.00 back in 1913, this camera was well worth the investment, as it was still operational in 1972 when Frances traveled with it to Israel. The camera features two tripod sockets, 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch film negatives, and the ruby window on the back of the camera indicates what number photo you’re on.

Donated September 11, 1995
