Kodak Folding Brownie 2A Autographic

This week I tested a Kodak Folding Brownie 2A Autographic camera which I found in Warracknabeal on a post lockdown road trip at the end of last year. This camera, which dates from 1917-1926, originally took 116 film but can be converted to use 120 film and create 6 x 12cm images.
