Richard, according some sources about photography
history, the first camera to use the format 2-1/4 x 2
1/4 (6x6cm) was the first Kodak Brownie model 1 in
1900 with the also new 117 Kodak film.
In 1901 the Kodak Brownie 2 used a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4
format with the also new 120 film format, in fact
these films, cameras and formats started the MF
photography:

Photographic Historical Organization and wrote several
articles about old cameras.
All the best
