Description

This example of the No 2 Folding Pocket Brownie camera is in reasonably good condition, although I suspect it has had some restoration work carried out before I bought it.

The camera has maroon bellows, which are intact but have some minor damage where lens board support appears to have caught the bellows at some stage.

The winder is worn - some of the nickel plate has been lost and the underlying brass is showing through. Likewise some of the nickel plating is missing around viewfinder.

Notes

This is the smallest of the set of two Folding Pocket Brownie cameras (No 2, No 2A); the larger sizes were identified as Folding Brownie cameras (No 3, No 3A).
