Description:
No.2A Brownies were made with a leatherette covering the card contructed camera until 1924 when the card was replaced by metal. It uses a metal film carrier and features two reflecting finders. It is opened by releasing two pivoted catches and pulling out winding key.Fun Facts:
This extremely popular Brownie, which used #116 film, produced a large \"postcard\" size negative perfect for contact printing. Cameras like the No.2A Brownie helped put the \"Postcard Photographers\" of early-day resorts, like Coney Island and Atlantic City, out of business. As time went on, the size of the camera became a drawback as contact printing gave way to enlarging negatives from smaller cameras for prints.
