Six-20 Kodak No. 0 KODON Art Deco Folding Camera, Anastigmat 6.3 Lens, 1930s
This art deco vintage camera is intended as a collector’s item and/or for display, as are all others we found online.
We believe this belonged to Alice Burr, who became one of the first well-regarded American photographers in the early 1900s.
The term "Six-20 Kodak No. 0 KODON" refers to a family of vintage Kodak folding cameras produced in Britain between 1933 and 1940. The specific model is the Six-20 Kodak, while the "No. 0 KODON" refers to the shutter fitted on the camera. This one comes with an Anastigmat f/6.3 lens which was an advanced lens option with a distance scale for better focusing. The lens and bellows collapse into a compact, protective body when not in use. Below the bellows is a plaque reading SIX-20 KODAK, MADE IN U.S.A. BY EASTMAN KODAC COMPANY, ROCHESTER, N.Y.
The bellows open and close smoothly with the use of a button on the side or bottom, depending how the camera is held. The Film 620 button with small clasp winds as intended. The camera appears to be in very good vintage condition from an exterior view. We do not have the time or resources to test if it works, which seems to be an nonissue with this vintage camera. The leather carrying case with long cloth strap has signs of age, including a ripped corner on the left side as shown in photos.
