AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The No.2 Brownie is significant in that it was the first camera to use 120 roll film. It started production being made of leatherette covered card and, from 1924, changed to a metal box. A very simple camera with a very dependable shutter shutter. It has two sliding mechanisms on the top, one for a bulb, or time setting, and the other for a choice of 3 apertures. It also has two small reflecting finders for vertical or horizontal shots.

1929-1933: UK models in six color finishes - Red, grey, green, blue, brown, claret - as well as black.

From 1931: knob replaced winding key; 1931 models had rectangular line decoration of earlier models; thereafter plain finish.
