With this Six-20 BrownieJunior, Kodak remains faithful to the principles which made the success of Brownies but it improves the way this camera is manufactured.
The paperboard remains the main component but metal (almost) replaced wood for the body.
This camera manufactured in US has been proposed with two different front faces : black front face and art-decó face (this pic).
Two variants exist of this Art-Deco front face : with and without mention.
The aperture, which consists of two holes, is selected by pulling a tab on top of the camera.
Another tab to the right of the aperture tab is used to lock the shutter open for long exposures. The framing is done using one of the two reflex viewfinders.
To open this camera is like trying to find the secret of a Chinese mystery box!... You must first pull on the film advance key then, pull up the button to which the handle is attached. The back will then slide out and you may load the 620 film. I have tried to give you as much detail as possible. This camera is in very good condition considering the age .The only flaw I can see is that on of the view lenses is loose and needs to be glued back into place..
