Kodak No. 2A Brownie Camera
The Kodak No. 2A Brownie is a box camera from Kodak's early-twentieth-century Brownie line, designed for amateur roll-film photography. It was sold as an inexpensive entry-level camera aimed at general consumers.
Auction data for the No. 2A Brownie is thin, but the single recorded UK saleroom result we have, from 1998, hammered at £92 — a wholesale level rather than a retail or dealer price. Today in 2026 the model remains an affordable collectable, and what a clean example is worth at auction depends heavily on cosmetic condition, original box and presence of the period instruction booklet, since these box Brownies were produced in very large numbers.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Kodak No. 2A Brownie Camera worth today?
Hard data is limited, but the one UK auction hammer result on file sold for £92, and clean, complete examples typically sell for modest two-figure sums at saleroom level.
How much does a No. 2A Brownie sell for at UK auction?
With only a single verified hammer price of £92 in our records, the value sits in the low collectable range, with price driven mainly by cosmetic condition and completeness.
Is the Kodak No. 2A Brownie a valuable collector's camera?
Because Brownie box cameras were mass-produced, the No. 2A is generally an affordable collector's item rather than a high-value piece, though pristine boxed examples can command a premium over loose bodies.
