This item is a vintage Ansco telescoping black painted steel camera tripod with a swivel head.  It extended from 16  inches to 46 inches.  Both of these measurements are when the tripod is in the read to hold a camera position like in  picture 1 and 2. There are small areas of chipped paint present, I would rate it in very good condition. It is perfectly  functional. The legs are tight and do not wobble around when extended.  All the little metal pins that keep the legs  extended are in very good condition. The points on the end of the legs are all present and in excellent condition.   It would look great holding a vintage camera.
