The Embassy Box No.2 is a box camera for 2¼x3¼-inch exposures on 120 film, made by Coronet in the 1930s;[1][2] very basic compared to some of Coronet's box cameras. It has a card body covered with paper leatherette, and the inner film-holder 'cone' is made from wood and pressed metal.[3] It has small brilliant finders for vertical and horizontal pictures. It has a simple shutter release lever; there is an unlabelled metal pull-tab on the top of the camera which presumably gives 'B' (or perhaps 'T') shutter. The camera's name (but not the maker's name) is printed on a metal lens-surround. The camera has a leather handle attached diagonally on top.
