Agfa Ansco Photographic Materials and Professional Equipment, Catalog Z14-52-5, Agfa Ansco Corporation, (Binghamton, NY), undated c. 1930, ~5 ½"x7 ½", 48pp

After being purchased in 1928 by a chemical corporation, it is not surprising that this catalog is heavy in chemicals, films and papers rather than cameras, but there are two view cameras.  The catalog is undated, though coded Z14-52-5.  The flash bulb on page 9, the Edison Photoflash Lamp, is, according to the Schenectady NY Museum web site, a No. 20, introduced in late 1930.  A less powerful version, the No. 10, for amateurs, was introduced in 1933 for $0.15 rather than the $0.25 for the No. 20.  Considering that this lamp probably would have also been offered, the catalog can thus be dated to 1930-1933.
