An attractive late 1920s folding camera manufactured in Rochester, New York, by Eastman Kodak Co. This No. 2A Folding Hawk-Eye Model B (taking 116 size film) comes fitted with a Kodak Anastigmat f/6.3 126mm lens set in a Kodex shutter. Built with a leatherette-wrapped aluminum body, swiveling brilliant viewfinder, drop-down front easel stand, and retains its original period yellow-box film decal inside the removable back panel.
