The No 2 Folding Brownie was introduced in 1904. The model B, now called Folding Pocket Brownie, was introduced in 1907. It was slightly smaller than the earlier model, and had 'buttons' to release the back rather than a sliding catch. Early versions, and those for the US market, of the model B had red bellows later they were black. Production ceased in 1915. The price was 21/- in 1910.
