Vintage Box Camera

Seneca's Box Scout No. 2 A is a box camera for roll film. It has two reflecting type viewfinders, one in the top for vertical exposures, and the other in the side for horizontal shots. In the side is also the shutter release lever. On its top the camera has a leather grip and the aperture selector. There's no aperture scale so that you have to look which aperture appears in the front opening, the small, the medium or the largest one. The camera's lens is positioned behind shutter and aperture. Below the aperture selector is a little shifter to switch the shutter from "instant" to "bulb" mode. After opening four locks at the side that side plus the attached film holder can be pulled out of the camera to unload and/or to load film. The camera could be used with Eastman Vulcan film rolls of type No. 232 which might be similar to Kodak type No. 116 film for Kodak "No. 2A" cameras. In its back is a red window. The camera is made of wood. Inside the camera the wood is painted black, outside it is properly coated with cheap black leatherette. In the camera's bottom is a tripod thread.

I have had this old camera for years. It is dusty, but completely functional. I should try to find some film, and try it out.
Nicely captured and I enjoy the reflection! Buy yourself some film and experiment! Maximum 48 shots per film, but most like 12, 24 or 36! They should be able to develop the film at your local camera shop. If you are in the UK London Camera Exchange will do it, and then you can pop the images on your computer and process them in Lightroom/Photoshop or whatever software you use!
