Description:
The Six-20 Brownie, made by Kodak LTD London, has a metal body with a front panel displaying a circled "K", vertical stripe pattern in black enamel and bright stainless metal. It features multiple f/stops, focusing and two brilliant finders.
Variations:
1934-37: This camera opens in two halves, linked by hinged arms, for loading.
1937-41: Model B is manufactured with a redesigned and more angular case however the front panel design remains the same. The body of the camera is fitted with older hinged back with springcatch.
Fun Facts:
I think this camera is rather unique in that the changes from it's first release to the Model B would, in other cases, result in a new camera, not just a Model B. It also has focusing, which is not all that common on Brownie cameras.
