Vintage Kodak Six-20 Brownie Model E box camera, made in the UK and dating from approximately 1947–1957.
The Model E is one of Kodak's better-equipped British Brownie box cameras, featuring a 100mm f/11 meniscus lens, built-in sliding portrait lens, yellow filter and twin reflecting viewfinders.
This example has been tested and is fully working.
The camera is in good vintage condition, with signs of age and previous use consistent with a camera approaching 70–80 years old.
There is some dust visible inside the viewfinders. The viewfinders remain usable, and this does not affect the taking lens or the photographs produced by the camera.
All tested mechanical functions are operating correctly.
The camera uses 620 roll film and produces large 2¼ × 3¼ inch / approximately 6×9cm negatives. 620 film is now a specialist format; it uses the same width of film as 120 but is wound onto a different spool.
The camera is completely mechanical and does not require batteries.
No film is included.
