Introduced in 1907, the Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model C Box Camera was an affordable and easy-to-use camera that made photography accessible to the public. It used 120 roll film, which allowed for 8 pictures per roll, and was part of Kodak's Brownie series, known for its simple, box-style design. The camera featured a fixed-focus lens and a basic shutter with two speed settings, making it ideal for beginners and casual photographers.


The Brownie Model C was also durable, portable, and inexpensive, making it popular with families and outdoor enthusiasts. By offering an affordable way to take photos, the Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model C played a key role in making personal photography widely available to the masses during the early 20th century.
