History Of Use: The Kodak No 2A Folding Pocket Camera was introduced in June, 1907 and discontinued in September, 1915. The camera used folding roll film and produced pictures that were sized 2 ¼ x 3 ¼ inches. It was manufactured in the United States and used a Meniscus Archromat lens. The wood body was covered in imitation leather, and the camera’s size had been reduced by 20%, compared to the No. 2 Folding Brownie Camera. The camera also featured a reversible reflecting finder, metal lens panel, sliding focus with an automatic lock, and a hinged back released by concealed buttons. Over 174,000 of the No 2A Folding Pocket Camera were made.
