Vintage from the 1930s.

The Six-20 Brownie Junior was made by Kodak from 1934 to 1942, as a model for 2¼×3¼” images on 620 film. It was apparently manufactured in the US, Canada, and England; and several variations exist.

Inexpensive cardboard bodies helped make Kodak’s early Brownies a success. But while an entirely-cardboard Six-20 Brownie Junior is known, most improve on the way the camera was manufactured with increasing use of metal (in place of wood), while still remaining true to the Brownie principles of simple construction and operation.

The Art Deco version seen here was perhaps the most popular one. (Another Deco version is known which is not marked with the model name.) Others have plain black fronts, including a “Super” model.

Fun Facts: Though the name “Six-20 Brownie Junior” has been used for a number of Brownies, with additional identifiers like “Portrait Model” and “Super Model”, the cameras are quite different from each other. That they all use Six-20 film seems to be the common denominator.



If you are purchasing a lamp for use outside of the U.S. or Canada, use only with the appropriate outlet adapter and voltage converter for your country. Do not plug into an electrical outlet higher than 110-120V as this could result in the lamp not working.
