Which Kodak Brownie successor model was released in 1901?

The Kodak Brownie successor released in 1901 was the No. 2 Brownie. It followed the original Brownie introduced in 1900 and offered a larger image format, helping extend Kodak’s inexpensive snapshot-camera system.

The No. 2 Brownie was manufactured from 1901 to 1935 and became one of the most successful members of the Brownie family. It used 120 roll film, a format introduced by Kodak for this camera, and produced photographs measuring about 3¼ by 2¼ inches. It also added features such as a viewfinder and a handle.

The camera was sold in different body materials, including cardboard and aluminum, with prices varying by version. Its low cost and simple operation helped photography reach amateurs who did not want the complexity or expense of professional equipment.

The other options belong to different parts of Kodak’s history. The Vest Pocket Kodak was a separate compact line, the Brownie Hawkeye appeared decades later, and the No. 1 Autographic was an autographic camera designation rather than the immediate 1901 Brownie successor.
