Beginning in 1913, the folding bed camera cameras Pocket Seneca No.30, Pocket Seneca No.31 and Pocket Seneca No.32 were offered in a new design, for giving these cameras a common falling&rising front. These cameras usually were offered in differently sized variants, each for one of the plate (or sheet film) sizes 3¼×4¼", 4×5", 3¼×5½", and 5×7".
No. 30 was the simple folding bed type.
No. 31 was the same, but with rack&pinion focusing aid.
No. 32 was the long focus version with double extension bellows, and with rack&pinion too.
In 1917 the No. 31 was the last of these cameras appearing in the catalog, and renamed to Seneca Camera No. 31.
