AGFA ANSCO Corporation

The Agfa Ansco Corporation resulted from a merger between the German company Afga and the American one Ansco, located in Binghamton, N.Y. Because of the company's German assets, it was sold to American interests before the end of World War II. It continued to sell cameras under the name of Ansco. In 1967 the company was renamed General Aniline & Film (GAF), and a variety of cameras were sold under this new name. The last Ansco cameras were produced in the early 1990s.
