Ensign "ALL-DISTANCE" camera made in England by the Houghton Butcher Manufacturing Company Ltd London, dates from 1929 AFAIK.
Meniscus lens, just one shutter speed approx. 1/30 sec, 3 sliding set apertures that approximate f/11, f/16 and f/22.
Shutter does not cock, it is sprung and has flip-flop type operation.
There are tripod sockets for P and L formats.
This camera has 4 patents listed on the frame:
Patent 27103 1926, which refers to the ingenious frame counter / film flattening device.
Patents 248274, 270823 and 271186, I can't trace, but at a guess, may refer to the extending lens, the hinged box design, maybe the waist level portrait and landscape finders, or possibly the sprung roller tensioners. Any help with these patent numbers would be much appreciated.
The original price of 12/- (12 shillings) is marked inside, as well as a label which says "To Obtain the Best Results with this Camera ask for - 2 1/4B ENSIGN Speedy FILM".
This is an astonishingly clever mechanism, a true design classic.
Bought in a market in Dublin, together with canvas case, which is inscribed:

Here's a Kodak Chevron from 1953-56. Rather distinctive looking medium format (620 film) RF camera presumably by Kodak designer Arthur Crapsey who also designed the very similar looking Kodak Signet. Nice huh? Oh, and it's not mine. Dang.

I am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart-weary of building and spoiling,
And spoiling and building again.
And I long for the dear old river,
Where I dreamed my youth away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day..................
- O'Reilly
.
Goodness! you hypocrite, come out of that,
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
I have no patience towards
Such conscientious cowards.
Give me simple laboring folk,
Who love their work,
Whose virtue is song
To cheer God along..................
- Thoreau

.
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing,
Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Yet well I ken the banks where Amaranths blow,
Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow.
Bloom, O ye Amaranths ! bloom for whom ye may,
For me ye bloom not ! Glide, rich streams, away !
With lips unbrightened, wreathless brow, I stroll :
And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul ?
Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And Hope without an object cannot live.
- Coleridge

Fuji GSW690III, Kodak Portra 160, developed and scanned at Laboriver. Shot in November 2022 in Petra, Jordan - at the so-called Monastery building. It was pretty difficult to get a shot without any tourists, even though it was 6 pm and the Petra archaeological park was almost closed.
