The Conley’s Kewpie No. 3A model was manufactured from 1917 to 1922. It is a postcard format box camera. Like so many other box cameras it has two reflecting type finders, one for horizontal and one for vertical exposures. The image here shows that the camera is inside as outside a wooden construction. But since it’s covered with leatherette its more characteristic attribute is the aperture selection dial with four holes in front of the lens.
