No2A Beau Brownie a well known camera but the original packaging is less known.
Camera with metal body, styled by Walter Dorwin Teague with two-tone enameled geometric Art Deco design front panel, in five colours; black, blue, rose, green and tan, with matching leatherette covering (green and rose models sold only in 1930 and 1931, and were not available in UK). The doublet lens allowed a shorter body than with the usual Brownie boxes. Some have "Eastman Kodak"on the front but not all cameras.

It's hard to decide which is cooler, the camera or the box it came in. In the second picture, what it the tube-like contraption extending from the covering on the right?
It is a Kodak cable release made specifically for this type of camera.
I like the box because it is rare, but the camera is like art.
