After a fairly long hiatus due to moving, I will be posting cameras here on a regular basis.
The Ansco VP no. 2(A) is one of the neatest cameras I have come across in a while. The action of its strut-folding mechanism made me smile the first time I used it and the overall attention to detail is excellent.
Information on this model seems a little sketchy, with various sources attributing it as either a VP no. 2 or Model A. I am choosing to call it a 2(A) since the specs all point to a no. 2, but the inside of the back cover calls it a Model A (the cover is NOT from what is identified as a Model A in McKeowns).
